"We were robbed, he got the brown bag. Yes, that brown bag." Jimbo is a young father who has a gambling problem. When he gets in deep to a local mob boss he has one choice. Pay him back or give him his son. With his back against the wall he decides to rob a fish market, but for a non-criminal things don't always go right. This first and foremost is a really funny comedy. Just seeing the events unfold on its own is really funny and entertaining to watch but when mixed with the dialog it makes it that much more fun to watch. This movie combines the best of British crime movies with American comedy. While this movie won't win any awards it is one of the most entertaining movies that I have seen in a while and I recommend this. The type of movie you can just put in and not really have to think about, just watch and enjoy. I liked it. Overall, very entertaining and very much worth seeing. I give it a B+.

STAND OFF is an atrocious black comedy from Northern Ireland. It's supposedly a spoof of the popular heist genre, featuring hard-knuckle gangsters, a stand-off with police, and various plot intrigues between the characters. It feels as though the guys who wrote it swallowed a whole load of cinema including plenty of Tarantino and then simply tried to emulate it themselves.

The result? An abject failure; STAND OFF is embarrassingly bad, never more so than in the random spaghetti western spoof moment which is excruciating. The characters are underdrawn and I didn't laugh once at any of the supposedly quirky humour. The only thing I can say about this film is that the cast is semi-professional so it's a shame they're wasted in such a production. Brendan Fraser has never looked more desperately out of place although Colm Meaney is reliable as always in a stock part and David O'Hara is effortlessly imposing as the gangster mastermind. Conleth Hill (Varys from GAME OF THRONES) and Tom Hollander cameo.

Whole Lotta Sale or Stand off, whichever title this is being released (Germany was the former),I think will define the expectations of people watching it. I can not account for that, off course. Stand off does sound more intriguing, which can be seen in the main picture, but maybe says too much, while Whole Lotta Sale does not say anything at all, about the movie as it is.

Brendan Fraser has a nice little role, but it's the supporting cast, that makes the movie. There are some refreshing and funny takes on things (being Scottish vs. the Rest, Family issues in general and more). If you can dig those little things, you might come to like this movie more than the rating suggests on IMDb
