_"You have one thing money and practice can't buy - you look like a nice guy."_ Halfway through I wasn't sure if I was into this but I am glad I stuck through with it because the third act was worth it. You can't trust anyone and the twists are great. Diego Luna is also so likeable!

Chandler Danier:

The problem is that John C Reilly is a guy you'd give your bag to. This film lacks cynical prick with a face you'd love to punch. I've seen too many generic city 5s. Fun story. Cool actors. Unexpectedly funny. Short.
