This is definitely a screen writers film and it is indeed (and as you would hope), well written. Life imitates art etc, not always something that has been done well in the past but here it works. It's reminiscent of those early 90's post-noir films, Pulp Fiction and the 101 films that tried to copy it. Maybe this film is just 20 years too late, the cast is superb and everyone has a good day at the office but somehow it never really seems to be as great as it should be, unfortunately the whole is not greater than the some of its parts but then I was expecting a film on par with the great In Bruges! But hey, 3/5 ain't bad!
