There are a lot of filmmaking tricks pulled and interestingly they’re not all used in the action sequences. Those are well done but are generally much more restrained than the frenetic madness one may be expecting—that wild, weird energy is used more in how the narrative is delivered. Don’t get me wrong, this is a generic crime tale with some truly awful dialogue, but the unorthodox way it unfolds makes it much more interesting than it deserves to be. There are some bizarre editing choices and other unusual stylistic flourishes thrown in—some work, some don’t, all kept me intrigued.
