About
You may enjoy this if you want a pulpy, mid-budget crime chase with a solid central performance and some dark humor; Not for you if you need a tight, logical plot or nonstop action like Rage.
Pros: strong lead performance; brisk pace; pulpy crime vibe | Cons: confusing story; uneven acting; not enough action
