Summary: A dry action-comedy about two teams of government assassins working out of a top-secret underground facility using code names from the Tarot deck. When our hero--The Fool--arrives for his first day at work to find that the boss has been killed under mysterious circumstances, he must find the killer before the whole place blows up. (imdb)
Fairly interesting thriller. Never forgets that its cast is all comedians, and is a fairly rollicking ride. Rob Corddry easily steals the show, and Galifinakis is barely in it, though his mug on the DVD box probably sells a few more copies, so I can't blame them.
Some genuinely funny moments sprinkled throughout the film prevent it from being awful. The idea, taking a bunch of comedians and throwing them into an action spy movie, is really a great one but the film focuses far too much on a generic and boring plot rather than just allowing the comedians to be comedic. Wasted opportunity.
Not sure what this movie was trying to do. It's really dark and has a few laughs, but I don't understand why anybody would put a bunch of really funny people in a movie and have them all start killing each other off. Really bizarre.
every ounce of entertainment derived out of this sorry excuse for an espionage action flick comes from corddry. galifianakis has about two minutes of screen time and not a singe funny note, rhames is killed off within about twenty minutes of the beginning, which coincidentally is also about five minutes after he even enters the movie. i have an appreciation for anderson, but he's a straight arrow with little to no appeal here. some movies are just born bad.
There's one scene where Galafianakis is funny. Other than that, I'm not sure what the hell was supposed to be going on here. Absolutely a film you do not ever need to see.
I can't imagine anyone having asked for a movie like this. It has no point and adds nothing to life as we know it. That, and it wastes the comedy potential of people like Corddry, Scott, Odenkirk and Galifianakis. As an added 'I can't believe how stupid this is': on the movie poster all the characters are brandishing guns, yet in the film no one fires or even holds a gun. That's how much the makers of this turd respect you, mindless consumer X. Have a nice day.
For as many interesting people are cast here, all of them are used incorrectly. Seems to basically be written around how many different ways can we think to kill someone. Not sure why they even tried to use what little dialogue they did, it might as well have been a montage of death scenes. One or two laughs.
I really feel that it falls between two stools. It is a very strange attempt of mixing two genres, in which it fails to be either. It is neither funny enough to be a comedy nor serious enough to be a thriller.
Kinda funny - because it was fairly realistic... but who wants a realistic spy action thriller... MEH... oh yeah make that Comedy-Spy-Action-Thriller... Jokes were trying a bit too hard... bit too much OTT gore, bit too shallow plot and character-wise. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you'd probably like this...
Other than a couple one-liners, this movie is just boring. The characters are just cutouts, as you never get to know any of them in any way. I found myself not rooting for, or hating, any of the characters. The writers probably tried everything they could to have a creative ending, but it was cliche and not at all unsuspecting.
