It’s not a bad premise by any means, but a noir romp, however bizarre and farcical, surely has to take place in a recognisably real world where there are plausibly real constraints on people’s behaviour.

Does it make any sense? No. But I was cracking up from scene to scene.

It doesn’t always work, but it more often than not hits its target, thanks to the performances and an unexpected ending.

The film manages to be memorable, funny, thought-provoking, and leaves us with a common, but important lesson. The power of greed is nearly infinite, unless we have a higher code and do not simply accept that the world is evil and waiting to pounce.
