Quirky and darkly-surreal tale of honor-among-thieves that just does not quite ring true.
Despite fancy dialogue and winning performances, this film is not really about anything much at all. The tail wags the dog in violent set-pieces redolent of no underlying emotions because the filmmaker could not quite decide whether he was making an existential thriller or a commercial one. The deleted scenes prove this and so should not have been cut as they deepen the characters.
The plot is made up as it goes-along as oddly-disconnected events follow on, one from the other, without rhyme or reason. The inherent falseness of the entire proceeding is even highlighted by the fact that the dénouement occurs on a film set.
However, despite all this, one watches fascinated simply to know what will happen next and how it will all turn out in the end.
