About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, darkly funny crime mystery with chaotic banter, especially if In Bruges or Lucky Number Slevin appeal; Not for you if crude humor or tangled plots frustrate you.
Pros: sharp banter; strong leads; dark comic energy | Cons: convoluted mystery; crude language; uneven pacing
