About
Not for you if you want a straightforward crime story with minimal talking, as this one leans heavily on dark comedy and tense conversations; try A Walk Among the Tombstones or Get the Gringo instead.
Pros: stylish noir atmosphere; strong acting; brutal dark humour | Cons: overly wordy dialogue; incoherent plot; political messaging
