About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, road-trip crime story with a heartfelt streak and culture-clash banter, in the vein of Into the Night; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a strictly serious tone.
Pros: funny one-liners; warm, thoughtful message; strong performances | Cons: a little silly; uneven tone; dated sensibilities
