About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, offbeat crime comedy about fame and bad decisions, with bursts of violence and absurdity; Not for you if you need grounded logic or steady laughs like in Clay Pigeons.
Pros: darkly absurd premise; strong cast energy; mix of laughs, crime | Cons: uneven tone; implausible reactions; limited big laughs
