About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, cynical caper where a get-rich-quick plan snowballs into chaos, with a Get Shorty-style vibe; Not for you if you need likable characters or consistent, laugh-out-loud comedy.
Pros: dark, cynical humor; fun, oddball ensemble; brisk, twisty setup | Cons: messy, disjointed plot; uneven laughs; unpleasant characters
