The characters/dialogue are not always naturalistic because this is a FABLE, and not a realistic "slice of life" as you might find in other movies (like Crash, for example). If you look at it through the lens of realism, it's going to look "cheezy" in parts. But, I propose you're missing the big picture if you only experience or analyze it in those terms.
Re. your comment that none of the actors took it seriously, you might read some interviews and get a different take on that. There is at least one interview on line (of the lead actress) indicating that she and Viggo took it VERY seriously.
I'm wondering if there's a little bit of anger, sarcasm, or judgment in your last line ["Sin City, Get Carter, and Perdition are probably on your shelf, too."] If my sense is correct, where does that come from? What about yourself/your life are you not at peace with right now?
All my best,
