A comfortably slow paced, dark themed, fictional story. Well filmed, well edited, well played. There's subtle humour and strong characters, and overall the way it was done is appealing enough for me to have watched it.
Like almost all movies nowadays there's nothing new here, and more bloodshed than necessary. Some people might appreciate the showing of bloody limbs stacked together, as if this was the deli section of the supermarket. For me as a vegan however that's absolutely unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the movie.
Also, as some have complained, parts of the plot is implausible and unrealistic, but then it's not a documentary, is it? It's just a made up story, made for entertainment purposes. And as such it excels, in my book.
At 1 hour 30 something minutes I would call this an instant classic and an enjoyable no-brainer on a weekday night, or even on a stay-at-home Saturday evening.
