About
You may like this if you enjoy dark crime comedies with moral tension, especially Seven Psychopaths or Pulp Fiction; Not for you if crude language and bleak humor put you off.
Pros: sharp dark humor; strong lead pairing; memorable Bruges setting | Cons: very foul language; offensive jokes; uneven for some
