Serious action (think Hong Kong action film) is involved, but there are funny scenes inbetween (think Hot Fuzz). I was definitely surprised that there were funny scenes because I was expecting a full action movie. However, I was very pleased and laughed a lot from beginning to end. This movie also reminded me of Sin City and maybe even Kill Bill - lots of violence, blood, and bodies.
Owen and Giamatti do a great job in this movie. Owen teaches us that carrots are a healthy snack and have various uses. And Giamatti teaches us that husbands need to see and call their family more often. Oh and the baby teaches us that we should all have grown up with a bulletproof vest.
