Nowhere near as bad as the slew of two star reviews might lead you to think. Flawed, but *lots* of fun and a very decent X-Men movie. Also, not to go all Marvel Vs D.C. but it's a hell of a lot more coherent / enjoyable than Batman V Superman.

Thoroughly enjoyable Shane Black thriller, pretty much exactly the film you're hoping it's going to be from the trailer. Crowe and Gosling both on fine form and make a great double act.

My all-time favourite film.
