My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? Probably not.
I watched this last year and I had to re-watch it just now to remember anything. Usually that's a bad sign. Tonally, this picture's all over the place and it goes to really fucked up places. It's got some black humor but that's countered with really dark, psychological stuff. The last fifteen minutes gets dark. The ending is so, so weak. It should've stopped in the car with a bang. Roll credits. But, no. They just had to go out happy. You'll probably dig it if you like odd films, crime flicks with something different to say or just for the sake of a cast full of familiar faces.
