It's like The Three Stooges with bazookas. The Big 4 is way too long and talky, but you feel its impact when it explodes.

The Big 4 is gory, gonzo, goofy and overflowing with the director’s signature mayhem that action fans know and love.

Despite the somewhat overlong duration, “The Big 4” emerges as a highly entertaining movie, and definitely one of the best action films of the year.

It’s part Tarantino, part Three Stooges, refreshingly original, and 100 percent heart.
