To me, this movie is perfection.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
