Unique Plot,Cliché characters & a Few Memorable Scenes

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2016)

I wasn't really excited about this movie cause comedies aren't always that funny to have comedy as their genre but this movie had pretty good jokes and a few very funny moments and a nice story that is original.Well the whole story was original and since the movie takes place in the 70s it tried to put on the 70s kind of vibe in the movie.
About the characters,I didn't really like it cause it was the same exact kind of characters we see in every crime-action movie,which made the movie pretty predictable,but I can't blame that cause people like that kind of thing (but I don't think anyone would mind a new set of characters for gang movies). To me the casting and the chemistry wasn't that good that I would remember the movie for it's unique cast.
The movie had some short scenes with fast cuts and some scenes that seemed really pointless (not many thought) which made me think it was a first time directing for it's director (Shane Black) but when I found he's a pretty experimented directer I changed my mind,well it's an independent film but we've had better indie directors.
As a whole it won't be a waste of time to watch it since it's less than 2 hours (so yaaaay!) It has some good jokes in it but still I think it's not enough for a 1h 50m movie.I watched it and enjoyed some of it's scene but at the end when I thought about it,it didn't have anything special...but it's a clean movie with some weird pointless scenes that last less than 3 seconds.
