In this black comedy, the setting and the actors are as you'd expect from the game and other similar movies. At times it has a very fast pace, slapstick comedy routines, and tricky dialog that keep you on your toes all the time. Even after following the story very closely, you still need a cheat-sheet to figure out what just happened and who's who. All the actors play their parts to perfection. The characters are over the top imitations of what they are supposed to be and that is part of the fun. They are not supposed to be genuine; they are not supposed to act in movie style but like in a play. If you don't get into the mood, you may not enjoy it; but then why are you watching it, otherwise? My Rating: 7.0
