This was a surprisingly entertaining low buget movie with some interesting plot twists.
The premise is a brother-sister team of professional assassins. That alone doesn't offer a strong platform for comedy and the whole thing hinges on whether the audience cares about the leads, which I think we start to do with the opening scene's moments of black comedy.
The brother is also about to get married and that context offers up some plot twists and funny moments.
A further plot detail revolves around a rare baseball card, which again enables some plot twists and comedy moments.
I'm not going to pretend it's great - in this genre that would be the hilarious "Killers", with Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher - but for some fun on a rainy weekend it gets the job done.
