    This is actually one of my all-time favorite movies. Kind of reminds me of Kung Fu hustle. In the sense that the movie isn't one genre. One second it's a silly comedy like the naked gun or airplane movies. The next second it's a drama or even a horror. I like movies that bounce around and keep you guessing as to what will happen.
