About

If you enjoy raunchy, offbeat crime comedies with an intentionally obnoxious lead and chaotic teamwork, this could work for you; Not for you if you want likable heroes or cleaner humor like Common Wealth.

Pros: crude laugh-out-loud moments; oddball buddy dynamic; fast, silly energy | Cons: very lowbrow humor; unlikeable lead behavior; thin story setup
