I have to admit that this was a great and original story.  There were also some fantastic lines.  While the movie wasn't one of my preferred genres, I did enjoy it.  I was engaged during the entire film and laughed out loud at several scenes. 

There were a couple places that required me to suspend my disbelief, but it worked.  I've had to suspend disbelief plenty of times during movies so this wasn't too demanding.  I mean, you really can do a lousy job killing people if you are drunk, right?  I can buy that.

Ben Kingsley did a good job of being an alcoholic.  Him and Tea Leoni though?  Really?  I guess it can happen.  They just didn't look quite right together.
