- JPV852★ 9/10
Absolutely hilarious crime-comedy with Patrick Wilson pitch perfect in the lead and Chris Pine, who for some reason was uncredited despite having a significant role, playing an insane character. Shows Joe Carnahan's range as a filmmaker going from a dark, gritty crime-drama like Narc to an off-the-wall crime-comedy like this. Probably deserves more attention than it seems to have received... 4.5/5
