A slick and stylish crime flick. Not the oldskool kind, but a more contemporary take, in line with the type of films we saw coming out of the USA around the start of the new millennium. It's a film I liked quite a bit the first time I watched it, a good 15 years later it has lost some of its initial charm.
The dialogs are pretty witty, the cinematography is polished, and the characters are daft but amusing. It's fast-paced from start to finish and there are fun details scattered throughout the film, it's just that there have been similar films since that have improved on the formula. It's still a good film, just not a personal favorite anymore.
