My thoughts:
I accidentally found this movie while browsing Netflix. I didn't know what to expect from the cast or director. You got Pegg with an american accent (sort of) and the guy from Friends. With that combo I couldn't quite tell what kind of movie it would be.It's classified as a comedy/crime caper. Tho I'd say dark comedy...very dark at points...and very much my favorite kind of comedy. As for the crime caper part, the whole movie involves more coincedence than actual mystery, but its works quite well as a whole and makes the ending next to impossible to predict.

I enjoyed the humor, liked the twists and was ok for the most part with the ending. Overall a solid movie I would say. So like go find it damn it. I assure you Schwimmer isn't as annoying in this as you'd think...tho he is still a bit whiny.
