Trivia
This film is set in real time, without breaks and, with the exception of the park scenes at the beginning and end, in a single location. The light outside visibly changes during the running time and it's slowly getting darker, adding another layer of realism to the film.

Goofs
Once the amount of whisky in the bottle reaches to about 2 inches from the bottom, there are a few more glasses filled that should have emptied it, but instead the whisky continues to remain at that same level in the bottle.

Quotes
Alan Cowan: [to Penelope] I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. Made me want to run out and buy a Ku Klux Klan poster.

Wonderful little drama/comedy

Despite it's name, which should imply a very violent movie, this one is a wonderful little movie about social structures and the way its built within us to the point of forcing us to behave in certain ways.

The concept for this movie is simplistic to the maximum level. Just 2 couples discussing terms for their kid's fight. What seems to be a nice meeting to solve the problem soon became a carnage fight (of words only, gladly).

The movie allow us to explore the aspects of each of the 4 personalities, that's it, that's the movie, and it's great, superb, no music, no special effects, no induced drama, no additional details to color the movie. Simple, powerful, nicely done.

From all the movies coming from Hollywood these days, this one is a nice gift, top notch actors, great comedy, nicely put together, what more could you ask.

So, go on, see the movie, what are you waiting for!
