On the one hand, it's a prison-break western. On the other, it's a cynical black comedy of epic proportions: the kind of film where the prosecution naturally catches a criminal through a chance peephole at a brothel. May try a little too hard at being "edgy" - but the characters are a joy and perfectly realized. The gags are also top-notch.
