    I personally really enjoyed it. Good story with plenty of twists and really clever snappy dialogue with a great cast to support it.

    I'm not really one to buy movies so it's hard to say... but either way it's definately worth a rent. I throughly enjoyed it too.

    Just watched it and it gets my stamp of approval. That is not an easy stamp to get.

    Just finished it. Enjoyable and well done film, no rewatch factor though, just a good one time rental.
    If...

    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    I really liked this one. Best rental since V for Vendetta, and those are about the only two this summer I liked at all.

    Josh Hartnett was actually really good in it. I usually despise him / his characters.

    Good advise from everyone! Just bought it & watched it, AA++ lots of fun!!! What about the movie Beowulf & Grendel, it comes out the 26th, worth a blind buy? Loved the story when I was in HS. A movie with the same name came out a few years ago,it was bad,hope this one does the story correctly!

    The movie killed!!! I was pleasantly surprised with Hartnett's performance, too. Very clever. I give it an 8 out of 10.

    I was going to pass on this movie because it has Bruce willis in it but I think I'll give it a shot based upon the comments here. I understand Bruce is in it for only a short period of time, so that has to be a plus.
