Funny and violent
The first part of the movie helps you get to know the main characters, which gives the violence in the second half have a completely different feeling than if it had been violent from the beginning. Overall a great movie, but the ending was a little unsatisfying.

Not really for kids, but a great film for moms and dads.
Breaks stereotypes (along with the heads, arms, and fingers). Not appropriate for kids, but adults will find this darkly comic, in that the two assassins are trying to cover for one another, and help each other "get out of the business." Acting is first-rate, and these two guys are very believable in their roles — Ralph FIennes is truly evil and menacing (not in the Harry Potter sort of way) and you find yourself rooting for and identifying with these two bad guys. I look forward to the rainy night when we watch this again (without the kids).

Great movie, but not for developing minds
This is a really hilarious movie. It's well acted and directed and beautiful to look at, but definitely not for kids. The violence and gore is very real and very scary. There's also a serious drug scene and they drink throughout the movie. No one is a very good role model either.
