This movie really stays true to its name. But it's entertaining pulp.
This movie has taken a good look at the standard gangster movies, with the violence, sex and drugs. It knows that it's a cool theme, but has been filmed too many times. So instead, it goes way over the top with the stereotypes and violence and throws in some absurd twists in characters and storyline. It doesn't go as far as being a parody, but is more like a black comedy with heated discussions about a cheeseburger, a wildly religious hitman, accidentally blowing someones head off, a gangsterboss getting raped by a gay nazi policeman and much more absurdity.
All that absurdity, combined with decent gangster-storylines, an atmosphere of coolness, memorable characters, great acting (incredible cast!) and some of the best (and most meaningless) movie dialogues ever written, turns out to be a very entertaining mix of serious action and absurd black humour.
