although this film look like a crime thriller noir and the plot be actually a bit simplistic and with very few surprise twist or turn at all and those that do appear and be not exactly shocker . however and if you slip out of intense action thriller mode and into amindless entertainment and then this be really quite a fun movie and with several hilarious moment . most of these can be attribute to the witty dialogue between alan rickman and emma thompson character but that say and sadie say it all in her hilarious opening greet to friedman and and it leave very little else for anything else to develop between these two character . i do not find these esteemed british actor version of the southern accent that bad ( ok and thompson sound like she be roll marble in her mouth a she try to speak southern and but rickman be surprisingly rather good with very few minor lapse into his customary english accent ) if you want to critique accent let discuss that of coco she only speak southern periodically .
