Ok, plot wise it is bits of other films stuck together, yes it is ridiculous and no its not of the same "quality" of some of Owen(Croupier), Balucci (Irreversible) and Giamatti (Sideways... ish)'s other stuff...
BUT THAT'S THE POINT =P
If you try and analyse this in the same way you would other films it is awful.
The idea of the film is just fun! If you take it seriously you will not enjoy it, and tbh i think that's a good thing.
These days films are too cheesy naturally or are far to pretentious to actually be enjoyed properly anymore.
Not that a little pretentiousness or cheese hurt anyone, but its nice to have a change from people who try too hard and those who dont try at all.
I love analysing films books and anything else that's flung my way but films like this and Crank are just made for a laugh.
Please will people stop saying this is just garbage, because it plainly isn't. Its just not a serious film or an out and out comedy... its just fun =D
I would recommend this to anyone who is capable of watching a film without taking it seriously, and to anyone who enjoyed this I would recommend Crank!!!

Doesn't take itself too seriously - except Clive Owen, who plays it straight-down-the-line serious, and makes it even more hilarious - especially when he spits out a couple of splendid one-liners.
Paul Giammatti chews the scenery a bit, but the tight editing, great photography and perfectly-balanced script makes this an enjoyable, rip-roaring ninety-minute ride.
As for plot? Hah! Who cares. The scriptwriter/director obviously watched enough Hong Kong action flicks to understand that the bizarre premise and completely unanswered bits are irrelevant for this sort of thing.
Sit back, tune out and enjoy.
