This was a fun fast paced movie for the most part. Yeah the pimp was a little too cliche and white, but what can you do. :) The pedophiles had me so pissed off, but then I loved the ending of that scene. Ummm what else, the end credit animation is pretty cool but I only saw a couple parts in the actual movie that would bear any semblance to the Grimm Fairy Tale type references. Anyway, watch it cuz it's a great movie definetly in the B+ to A range I think.
