I'm just never going to understand you.

Clever does in no way equal funny.

One hit man, actually developing empathy for another hit man, does not equal irony. The slow build towards the moment when Farrell breaks down to Gleeson is brilliant. YMMV.

I both LOL'd and welled up. That works for me as far as movie making and story telling goes.

Good grief the recs you are getting. People that are into films cream their pants over but for some more light hearted fare go with.

Shoot Em Up
The Inside Man
Identity
Wanted
Children of Men which is kind of artsy but still worth the watch.

The humour is witty is what I'm getting at, but go ahead and fight me on what my own opinions are if it gets you off, I don't give a ****.

Fair enough on the irony bit. We're just looking at it from two different angles.

(assuming I get what you were saying)

I don't see anyone discussing weird Russian art-house movies. I did see Alien, In Bruges and other straight forward genre movies get a mention.

But you're right, Children of Men is a lot more light hearted and simple than a series of movies about aliens that likes to impregnate and kill various spaceship crew members for giggles.

And you don't have to be pretentious to think that Wanted was a gimmicky pile of garbage.
