January 10, 2007This movie is so excellent, it's a completed movie!! I mean there is a success guns attack intrusion, a failed one, cars pursuit, many fights and shooting scenes. The soundtrack is amasing and the story is so nice. Even the hairdresser is really funny. Everything is just perfect, I'll never be bored to listen this movie.
