Quite impressive technically. The electronic score is honestly fantastic and the cinematography is also well above average. The acting’s pretty good, but it’s really the dialogue that gives the film a lot of its unique, comedic flavour. The story and concept have, of course, been done to death at this point, and I don’t think this movie quite finds a memorable way of presenting it. There aren’t a lot of scenes or moments that are going to stick with me. I also think the characters are poorly defined, which is probably the biggest thing that kept me from getting involved emotionally. Funny enough, those are the same issues I have with most of the films that have influenced this (John Carpenter and Walter Hill films), so it’s unfortunate to see this fall into the same traps.
