5/10
Fun black comedy
2 January 2011
This is a film that really plays to the strengths of all the performers involved.

We all know that Bruce Willis can play this sort of role with his eyes closed. Although he's killed 14 people we still like Jimmy and that is because only Willis can bring that little twinkle in the eye that makes us like Jimmy throughout the film.

Matthew Perry can play a bumbling sarcastic role perfectly so there isn't anything in this film that troubles him. He gets laughs easily just by walking into things and with the raise of an eyebrow.

Amanda Peet and Natasha Henstridge have both made careers out of playing the seductress or the honey trap and so are really just playing to type in this film.

Overall apart from a clever twist on an old format all the cast are playing to their strengths and thankfully when they come together it makes for a fairly enjoyable film.
