A
Tarantino-inspired black comedy & anti-Hollywood gangster movie from the writer-director of In Bruges. It's much alike the wave of films which emerged following the popularity of Pulp
Fiction in the mid 90's, with a great ensemble cast of seasoned actors. Christopher Walken steals this movie as an ageing psychopath who makes a living stealing dogs in order to claim the
reward.
This movie was very badly reviewed at the time of it's
release. I think it was quite underrated. It's not as good or funny as In Bruges, but still it's a good watch with many in-jokes and self references.
6/10
