If you are a fan of the Marx brothers, Tarantino, or any other absurdist filmmakers, this is your cup of tea. Forget plot, forget exposition, just strap in and enjoy the ride; this is the most fun you're going to have at the movies for a long time. (Particularly if you are fortunate enough to have an Alamo Draft House in your burg, where you can enjoy a civilized meal and wine during the movie). Basic story is simple:man saves girl about to be murdered and delivers her baby, saves baby against waves of murderous thugs sent to kill it; enlists the heart-of-gold hooker, susses out the reasons for pursuit, and confounds them all.
Like the grandfather in Princess Bride exclaims, this story has everything;good and evil, heartbreak, redemption, true love..oh, and yeah, action: more action, and more cleverly spiked with wry humour than you've seen in the last six movies you screened. The director has a truly original touch, having the hero off the bad guys with carrots, and using crankcase oil as an escape slide--trust me, you've got to see this, if not on the big screen, then at home. And you bloody well better eat your veggies.
