You know the type of comedy. A couple of (usually male) losers try to make it big with a small scam that rapidly slides out of control, and before you know it, dead bodies and seriously violent people have entered the mix. This is that type of comedy.
If you don't expect huge originality, however, the film is actually quite enjoyable. It delivers a few laughs and chuckles, plenty of unlikely plot twists, and manages to make some of the most boring and bland shots ever look slightly funky by playing them out split screen to Rammstein music.
The film has two problems. First, Simon Pegg is not entirely convincing as American. Maybe that's just because he comes with some preconceptions in a UK audience's mind. But more importantly, the final 10 minutes don't fit the film.
I'd recommend the film for a reasonably funny comedy, but only if there's nothing better on offer.
