While shopping for other films, this one and its sequel kept crossing my path.
It did have 1 laugh-out-loud joke (and it's almost impossible to get me to laugh aloud these days). Otherwise, it was amusing until we got the first dead body. After that I had a more difficult time being amused.

Even more violent, and less funny than the first installment. Plus I found this difficult to follow. About midway (or less) through the movie, RD gets a job consulting for a film about the ways of the mob, and that is bound up in a real scheme to steal gold bars. The problem: am I watching a real heist or a heist within a film.
Probably deserves a 5, but maybe it was me. I kept dozing off and going back, so it was extra aggravating.
