One of the most frustrating movies I've had the displeasure of seeing. The plot is so derivative and nonsensical to the point where I had a huge headache trying to keep track of the story with all the glaring plotholes and loose ends until I realised suspension of disbelief was paramount here, and stop caring halfway in. This led to a much easier viewing to one of the most boring, unfunny 'dark comedy' to star Simon Pegg. The movie is basically a big rip-off of all the major mystery plots before it, plus a few witty one-liners the screenwriters oh so cleverly slotted in. Sigh... the inclusion of David Schwimmer should have served enough of a warning to me in the first place though.
