3.0*/5.0*

A decent crime flick, though not nearly as cool and/or dry as I remembered it to be. It's been a long time since I last watched it and my taste in films has changed a lot. While there are still some interesting scenes and memorable moments, overall it's a bit too generic and familiar to leave a sizeable impression.

The performances are fun, but the presentation is a bit bland and the 2-hour runtime is excessive. The comedy is what saves this film, but it isn't that unique. The film thrives on the chemistry between its central duo, other than that, it's just a basic US crime flick. Not bad, but far from the personal favorite it used to be.
