This was a fun flick about some guys who decide to strike back against their horrible bosses .. by killing them. It's got a number of crazy sequences with the three losers all coming to their own realizations as their various plots progress. The main cast is very charismatic and though the plot falters through different tones at different times it's generally entertaining and more than adequate for a night's wind-down after work.

Recommended.

rand()m quote

Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

—Hermann Goering
