This movie had a great idea and no doubt wouldnt get much attention if it werent for seeing these particular actors together in this film. The beginning started with a bang and I was hoping to see more over the top scenes like this throughout the film. The in movie trailers, no doubt inspired by Grindhouse were great and the Fatties one was probably Jack Blacks best scene as he was later wasted (no pun intended) as an idiot heroin addict who just needs to get high. Downey was great but probably wouldnt get the same response if he didnt just come off the Iron Man success. It was good to see Cruise saying lines he usually wouldnt but the fat suit was the gimmick. And last but not least, having a kid as the leader of the drug lords was just stupid.

Do you like this review?

    Agree with Phat... what the hell is this??? Title: "Could have been a lot better"... Rating: 5 stars? That makes no sense. FIVE stars is max... how could it be better?

    I don't know Phat... maybe this guy just reviewed it and completely forgot to rate it. The stars ARE set at fives... so maybe he just didn't change the ratings to what he wanted.

    how is this an official review.. you break the film down making it sound bad then you give it straight 5's across the board.. perhaps you should learn the grading system first.

    Fortunately though, I do agree that this movie could have been a whole lot better.
