Quotes:

Nick: How many people?
Cliff: About enough, to get good at it. Aw! I bit my tongue, I hate that.
Nick: That's gonna stop hurting in a second.
Cliff: Oh, why Nick? You think this is it? Huh? Bad guy buys it, crowd goes nuts. You know what I hate about that ending besides from being cliché? It's your version of reality pally... not mine! Oh, it feels so good to squeeze that trigger right now, wouldn't it? Yeah! If you kill me, you kill yourself! Oh, you ain't gonna do that.
Helicopter Pilot: Weapon down! Put your weapon down!
Cliff: You got too much to live for, you got to many attachments. You're just too soft! Here kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Finally a decent flick

The movie is a thriller, drama, and comedy all in one. Yes the first half was dragging but Timothy Olyphant did an amazing job portraying his character. Steve Zahn and Mila were great and the other two were completely wasted in the movie. Didn't expect the movie to turn out the way it did, but when i think about the movie in its entirety it was definitely worth the watch.

Basically I wasn't upset I saw this movie in the theaters and also I wasn't bored at all. So I would recommend this movie to all my friends I don't care if they watch it at home or in the theaters it won't matter.
