I just wanted it to be better than SHAUN OF THE DEAD. If such a thing was possible. And it was, easily. It was the gun totin', male bondin' movie every SPACED fan would have wanted it to be.
I was going to list all of the films it was better than, but I decided to just go with a small sampling.
It was better than BAD BOYS II. It was better than POINT BREAK. Better than THE MATRIX. Better than CHINATOWN. Better than THE WICKER MAN.
I could go on, but dammit, it's late, and I've been babysitting all day.
