This underworld knockabout has its moments, but sharper writing could have lifted it way higher.

Like its handsome anti-hero, this movie sometimes misfires, but it is easy on the eyes.

Allan Ungar’s assassin turned subverted buddy-cop film takes a long time to get on its feet, and once it does, it still stumbles there. It’s a bit of a tropey mess, but the intent is clear: to have fun.

Unfortunately, despite the strength of individual pieces, the whole is hardly worth the effort of the watch.
