It seems that the majority of critics loved it and the general public also thought good of it.

75% ratio from Rotten Tomatoes (100% from their top critics) and a 7.2 from IMDB. I've not seen this myself.

Also loved "The Informant"
It's like a great Cohen brothers Fargoish film

I can't find my copy of Fargo anywhere. I've ever there's a chicken soup kind of day (haha) then that's the film I'd put on. it always cheers me up. McDermot gets all the praise but Macy in the fucking Bull in that thing.

You'd love the Informant- imagine Macy from Fargo with a smidgen of Patrick Bateman for an entire film.

Oh yeah, I caught Crank (1) on TV the other day, it was a silly, passable time waster of a flick.
Crank 2 worth renting?

Not bad at all- did a really great job of recreating an 80's style horror film, complete with awesome Casio theme music.
Didn't blow my mind but definitely worth a rental

Really enjoyed Fantastic Mr. Fox
Not as good as Royal Tennenbaums (sp) and Life Aquatic- but pretty close
But it blew away the rest of Wes Anderson's films

weedy harrelson was great as defendor :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1303828/

not a comedy , as it is billed , and i am sure most folk would find it easy to find many faults with this film , but i enjoyed it quite a bit .

its no taxi driver , but a lot of similarities .
