Out of a possible 5 stars- 2 stars 

My Review- 

This movie would have been really bad if it was not for Guy Pearce's acting. He was smart, funny, and an asshole, ironically his shirt said "Warning: Offensive" and it worked well because he was. Yes this movie was good at times but it was only when he was on screen, and also because of Joseph Gilgun from Misfits was in it as well. Gilgun was like a more psycho version of his character Rudy from the show. It was a good premise, but it just did not work, and the music that went along with it was just horrible. Basically what saved the movie was Guy Pearce and that was about it, I though Stormare being the badass he usually is would be one, but however he was not and I was disappointed. I'm actually glad I waited to get this on redbox instead of watching it in theaters I saved a lot of money by waiting.
