i have to start off by apologize because i think the first 75 80 % of this film be hilarious . it mostly because of brad pitt performance . spot on . the acting by all involve be quite good but brad steal the movie . the atmosphere be perfect in all respect . i be not a giant pitt fan but this have get to be one of his best role ever . brutal and honest and gritty . all good word to describe this movie . i be read a previous review and the person say that the reason behind early violence isn not explain . it be explain but they thankfully do not have to go into graphic detail to get their point across . overall i give this a 9 because every scene bar 1 or 2 be effective . i think the humor in the first half or so be perfect for this movie . underrated .
