Anyone else? It's a great movie for fans of over-the-top, unbelievable action along the lines of Crank, Sin City, and Kill Bill.

I loved it but I had to cover my eyes at a few spots towards the end...and then were a few scenes when I thought, wow, it's pretty messed up that everyone in the theater (including me) just cracked up at that!

Normally I love movies like this, in the vein of 'Crank', 'Hard Boiled' and 'Sin City'. But...
Potential spoiler:
Why did he have to have the baby in his arms the ENTIRE movie? Now that I've got kids, I just can't stand children-in-peril action, especially when the movie repeatedly cuts to the baby crying and screaming in terror and hunger. That prevented me from really enjoying it.
Now, before I come across as sounding like a righteous "THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN" zealot, my buddy and I then snuck into Halloween and LOVED it.
I just don't like to see unhappy babies. It makes me think of mine.
