Crisply done shooter with a suitable amount of wisecracking and other humour amidst the violence, including two of the most consistently enjoyable actors going around in Cillian Murphy and Brie Larson, another two who outdo them and everyone else in the comic stakes in Armie Hammer and Sharlto Copley (the former getting much mileage from his handsomeness, the latter from his accent), plus, in a bonus smallish role, Noah Taylor, and a whole lot of others - most of whom, despite being impressively shot-up and banged-around, hang around well into the closing stages, dragging themselves around the warehouse in which all the action takes place.
