Movie Review: Botched
Kit Ryan's Botched is an Irish-funded but Russia-set movie that begins like any other heist flick – a veteran thief is forced to do one last job by mobsters after a diamond robbery goes badly wrong. Unfortunately for our hero (played by Colin Farrell), but luckily for the audience, this job ends up involving gun-toting nuns, exploding rats and a psychotic killer who believes he is the reincarnation of Vlad the Impaler.
This is very much the weekend of the off-beat gangster comedy, but as quirky as the Colin Farrell-starrer In Bruges is, it feels like the most generic thriller ever compared to the madness of Botched.
This is an Irish-funded but Russia-set movie that begins like any other heist flick – a veteran thief is forced to do one last job by mobsters after a diamond robbery goes badly wrong.
Unfortunately for our hero, but luckily for the audience who might be checking their watches at this point, this job ends up involving gun-toting nuns, exploding rats, a psychotic killer who believes he is the reincarnation of Vlad the Impaler, chopped-off heads and gallons of gore.
Horror comedy is a difficult thing to get right – do it well and you have Evil Dead 2, do it badly and you get Snakes on a Plane and 70 per cent of German crapmeister Uwe Boll's back catalogue.
On first glance the funniest thing about Botched seems to be that Stephen Dorff is able to top-line a movie in 2008, but as the film develops and things get more and more bizarre, the film hits a genuinely amusing groove.
It may be uneven, too long and with some jarring shifts in tone, but it's hard not to enjoy a movie that features disco-dancing Mongols and the high possibility that Stephen Dorff might die at any moment.
Clearly half the budget was spent on the Riviera-set opening sequence, since most of Botched seems to be set in one corridor, with a cast of Brits gamely trying not to mutilate their Russian accents. Actually, all these would-be Russians come off pretty well compared to Sean Pertwee, who despite only two brief scenes delivers a performance that should ensure a decade of hard-labour in the Siberian wilderness.
Botched is no Shaun of the Dead, but it's better than Severence, and first-time director Kit Ryan deserves credit for delivering a film that should entertain even the most jaded horror fan.

Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully ? just like I now see in my orchids whether they are ?lumps? or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. It is a good thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka? days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light ? one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. http://www.timberland4you.co.uk/

With so many games streaming data from the <a href="http://www.collectionsdvd.com/comedy/hazel-dvd-collection.html"><strong>HAZEL</strong></a> on the fly. The methodology for the tests was remarkably straight for ward first from <a href="http://www.collectionsdvd.com/comedy/hazel-dvd-collection.html"><strong>HAZEL DVD</strong></a>, then from hard disk.
