Awesome film. Don’t want to say too much but just watch it and if you wanna be festive, watch it on St. Patrick’s Day

I enjoyed it. Pretty quirky and goofy at times, but definitely fun. Not a masterpiece by any means, just a solid action flick.

An action comedy fever dream with an iconic cast. Willem Dafoe will leave you feeling something of an eccentric investigator yourself.

One of the best cult action/drama movies of the 1990s. Highly quotable, super meta for the time. Lots of satisfying scenes. Willem Dafoe ❤️

This is a great film good story and comic moments.

Stylish action, creatively shot and directed with a fantastically eccentric performance from Willem Dafoe and loads of dark humour to boot

Total fan! I really hope they follow through with a third. Never gets old!!!!

For all that are like Norman Reedus where did he come from.This was and still is some of his best. Great action not difficult to fallow .fun

Love this movie. Don’t take it seriously. Extremely fun over the top action all the way through. Funny as hell too.

Very entertaining and stylish, not a whole lot of depth though.
