Great little film all around. Acting is top notch, characters are great, super funny at times. Could be a Cohen Brothers movie. If you like dark humor and a bit of crassness you’ll be like a pig in… I’ve watched it there times and plan on watching it many more.

Abrasive complex characters, with good banter between the leads, as well as good banter between the antagonists. Interesting themes of nihilism.

Fun movie. Didn't expect so much meta crime movie stuff but it was great. Gotta admit though I didn't understand 50% of the words spoken in this thing. The accents man oh man the accents. That's all my fault though.

Different enough with some funny dialogue. The ending was good too.

**An ordinary cop, enjoying his single life, gets into a real cop business!**

I won't say it is an overrated film, but it simply did not work for me. The same director who had made 'Calvary' directed this one as well with Brendon Gleeson in the lead, but that was an earlier project to this one. I More
