This film is clearly targeting a niche audience and will not be everyone's cup of tea. But I got exactly what I wanted from it. It's a simple enough plot, elements of dark humour, soothing music, beautiful women and all around text book neo noir. It's aesthetically pleasing to look at and was an overall relaxing watch. I watch all types of films and there are times where it's nice to just shut the brain off and play something in the background as I work around the house. This is one of those films where I'm sure I'll watch more than once. But again as I stated, it is not for everyone, perhaps not for most.
There are some pretty funny moments, some touching moments and it's a well told story overall. It is what it is. It's not trying to be anything it's not. It also consist of a fairly strong cast with a lot of familiar faces. Stay away if you have a short attention span and get bored easily or if you're coming in with altered expectations. It is exactly as advertised. For film noir fans specifically, I'd definitely recommend.
