You’ll likely enjoy this if you like easygoing, old-school buddy comedies with criminal mix-ups and scrappy charm, especially if Man of the East or Crime Busters sounds fun; Not for you if you want realism or subtle humor.
Pros: playful buddy dynamic; lighthearted mob mix-ups; energetic comedy | Cons: thin story; dated humor; broad silliness
