This movie was the one of the most enjoyable movie's I've ever seen. The characters really matched the scene and made me want to see more. At the beginning i couldn't imagine how the film will move on and I thought Jack's purpose was only money. When Jack meets his daughter and his ex-wife, I think it was his turning point to pick friendship and justice. The point I like about this movie is the exchanges between Jack and Mardukas. At first, Jack was very strong against him but Mardukas starts tricking him and starts showing that he is not just a geek. It is also funny that the FBI aren't smart enough to take away Mardukas. I think this film has a couple of emotional moments plus action moments and mostly laughter completes this movie. Personally, the ending was easy to imagine so if it was a more unexpected ending I think it would have been a better film.

This movie is perhaps a comedy one but it also includes romance and friendship. I never felt bored during the movie. I think the key person is Duke. The most troubles happened during the movie because of him. Duke is the man impossible to hate for not only us but Jack. Jack trusts nobody at first. However he can trust Duke and think of his family at the end of the story. Duke made him live a second new life. Jack gradually smiles at him. We can learn we have to value a personal relationship with a person who makes us laugh, smile, calm. I also learn the way to make a good movie. A main person can get what he wanted at first when he doesn't need anymore. He overcome the weakness or distress without even noticing. For instance, in this movie, Jack got the money when he didn't need anymore.

The funny point in this film is that Walsh is cunning and outs his heart into everything for money. It is interesting that he tries to deceive some people, however it is found out finally. He is not the main character who can be called a hero, but I think we can be called a hero, but I think we can never hate him. The Duke is also good at cheating someone. Especially, when he got on the plane, his pretence of phobia was great. Walsh and the Duke hated each other at first, but their cooperation system is good, and they are a perfect combination. I was moved by the last scene that Walsh set The Duke free. Money which he received from The Duke was less than $ 300,000 that was promised. I think he could not build his coffee shop and it became a little difficult to start his new life. However he did not give up a scene of justice he had inside. He had evil plots, but he did not forget heart of a police detective. As mentioned above, I think Walsh is not be a hero, but he has his sense of justice. He may be a hero who does not look like a hero.
