I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this film. I expected a typical brainless action flick with Carradine and Madsen. But, what I saw was quite well written and intelligent. I must admit it is not your typical action film so if you are looking for a dumb action packed film, this movie is not for you. For an action film it is a bit talkie but the dialogue is very well written, funny and smart. It covers a wide range of topics from religion to politics to racism all within the context of the interaction between the hit men. The characters are also very vivid and unforgettable. Even though they are stereotypical but it seems it was meant to be that way to draw our attention to the problem of stereotyping in our society and that there is hope for all of us to come together regardless of our ethnicity, religion or skin color. I give it two thumps up for great dialogue, great characters and solid acting.
