Rating: B- Commentary: I originally reviewed a different poster that was utterly banal, but this new poster is much more interesting, though it reminds me too much of In the Heat of the Night which might actually be their intention. |
Rating: B+ Commentary: Brendan Gleeson will make this one watchable all by himself, but the script seems tight and witty with a lot of fun built in. |
