The contradictions pile up - a man totally without empathy who likes The Smiths and their songs ("I am human and I need to be loved") and cares deeply about that woman, whoever she was.
A total screw-up who knows how to kill a brutal martial-arts monster warrior and has a track record of years of clean kills.
A man on a raging quest for vengeance who in the end can't really be bothered to follow through.
A film that's too casual and detail-obsessed to be a serious thriller and not wacky enough to be a subverive parody.
