Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Meter Critics – 22% Audience – 54% What You Should Know This movie is a comedy. Not in the way “Up in The Air” is a comedy where most of the film tries to be serious and realistic and sad. This is a wacky, screwball comedy that pokes fun at caper films…

Rotten Tomato Freshness Meter: Critics – 64% Audience – 62% What You Should Know: This film does not feature a lot of gadgets or villains bent on world domination/destruction.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Rating: Critics – 39% Audience – 89% What You Should Know: This film has a lot of killing, wounding, kidnapping, torture and murderous intent.
