Thought it would be a comedy


Or at least funnier than it was. Trailer was pretty misleading, just a bit of a warning if you expect a comedy. Almost all of the funny moments was in the trailer, pretty dark film actually.
And yeah, I know that it isn't labeled as a comedy on imdb, but the trailer was pretty funny.

I found myself laughing more than acual comedies like 'Daddy's Home' (Will Ferrell), 'The Wedding Ringer' (Kevin Hart), or 'The Ridiculous 6' (Adam Sandler).

It's not a comedy but there are a lot of funny moments in Nicolas Cage's performance, maybe it's not for everyone I agree.

It was never funny and very unoriginal and violent (the last refuge of he film-maker without ideas)

reply

It was funny, original enough, and not violent. Just cause someone got shot, doesn't mean it's a violent movie.

Gee, you just described the murder of 50+ people in Orlando Florida this morning.... not funny, not original and violent. I guess no-one should expect you to watch the news tonight!

It was pretty funny, the same scenes in the trailer are most likely in the film no?

From that Cage over-the-top scene I am expecting it to be a comedy -- but a DARK comedy. (But I haven't seen the trailer yet.)

Sounds pretty bad like the IMDB ratings shows. Won't be watching this.

reply

Just watched it and I can confirm : it is worse than bad. these 2 cops are the most stupid thieves I have ever seen in a film. The last 15 minutes do not make any sense, and are eventually unbearable.

reply

It IS a comedy, just an absurd one. The dialog is ridiculous and very funny, I found anyway.

It is funny, in a mellow way. Liked it.

Great inter-play between Cage and Wood.

I thought it was gonna be a comedy as well.

Good, dark film though... It's actually a morality play, crime does not pay.
