Saw this at a 3/4 full Southampton Odeon. Not seen an 18 cert since Harry Brown so was looking forward to an adult theme with plenty of violence,was not disappointed.Some of the violence was a bit over the top but also had some humour thrown in,liked the story and characters,didnt like the ending though.

    o/ Completely agree, that was the only genuinely funny scene in the movie for me.

    I didn't even think that was funny. I couldn't find anything funny in this film. Sorry for being a misery.

    I found the sleeve funny. But that was it.

    As I was coming out I heard people muttering they'd wasted almost two hours of their life.

    What a weird, weird movie! It's insane, like a Coen Brothers movie, with an assortment of equally crazy characters, but where it truly excels is in Matthew McConaughey's depiction of cold-blooded killer, Joe Cooper. This guy gives Javier Bardem's Anton Chigurh a serious run for his money. While his performance is downright menacing, Thomas Haden Church's Ansel is hilarious on the total other extreme...and yet, by the time the end-credits have rolled, all you'll be thinking of is one iconic scene involving a K-Fry-C drumstick which could possibly put you off KFC for life.

    Overall, a pretty fkd up movie, one I don't think I'd like to ever revisit, but which definitely held my interest all the way through. And I'm glad to see Matthew M. moving away from those dreadful trademark rom-coms into roles showcasing what a fkn good actor he actually is.

    Watched this the other night. Just seemed to be trying a bit too hard to be brutal and nasty. Didn't really see the humour in it.
