Very good, quirky movie, its subject matter was an inital turn off for me, but its quirky and just unique, worth a queue spot, miracles happen when nothing else matters or something close, good rent.

Wow at an hour and 30 mins I couldn't\t bring myself to finish this movie, the comedy seemed so contrived, the drama so stereotypical and thee hardest they tried to push the envelope the worse this film got. This made just plained out bored me, granted I fell asleep the first time I watched it but the second time I couldn't even bring myself to stay awake.

DAF has possibily become my my movie of the moment, I am actually thinking of buying this on DVD after renting it, it is funny, charming, whitty, subtle in the begining, character development a plenty, and for an hour and a half a pure joy to watch, although the subject matter is taken to the extreme, it is definately worth seeing, and yes it is black brittish comedy so not everyone will get it as seen from some of the poor reviews.

Good movie, I liked how it got you invested in the characters, I knew the ending,or part of it, and with that when it happened I still felt bad for the people it happened too, its hard to write it to not give away plot, but the "second" ending was contrived and happy, it should have just ended with the first ending...excellent movie either way though

A little slow starting but boy is it worth it, the cinematography is AWESOME, although the plot pretty easy to figure out, its the beauty of this action movie that transcends the pure gore to get 5 stars from me. Also the circle of life goes on, SPARTA!!!!

Wow I absolutely HATED this movie, I came in with high hope but it was just an hour and a half of fight scene with Ulma Thurman being Wonder Woman with no actual three dimensional villain, Wiggle your big toe, an absolute waste of 111 minutes.

it's really 2 and a half stars for me, its a good way to spend an hour and a half of mindless gun play, nothing was developed characterwise, it seemed rushed. But if mindless gun fights are your thing you will have a good time

This was your typical big budget special effect blow everything up, character development was sub par, what happened to the brother, and don't get me started on the ending, all I can say is it was WEAK. Not good, but if you have nothing better to do with close to 3 hours and like big budget effects then put this in your queue...but dont expect too much if you are looking for a movie with deep characters and plot

It got off to a slow start and you wondered if it was going to be the generic feel bad story, but then it picks up towards the middle an you start to really care about the characters, very touching movie about family and not appreciating whats there, also the personal identity crisis that Gogol goes through is classic of many who want to be "American" but fail to realize being "American" is what you make of it, not who you are.

Wow I just finished this and I thought the begining was slow but it pulled me in, although I didn't quite get the supporting storylines of the two gay men, everything else is pure genius.
I had just finish reading Maus and this was a perfect movie on that book, the monologue about the shame to have lived is AWESOME it gave me chills.
Very slow in the begining but oh so very worth it!!!!
Definitely worth a queue spot
