I mostly loved the film. It was shot quite nicely, and the story and characters were alright. The "darker" themes were fantastic.... but, it took WAY TOO LONG to deliver. WAY TOO LONG, at least for me. I am capable of enjoying long films, especially when the dialogue is interesting, which in this film, it is not. This, like Drive, tends more on the quiet and atmospheric side where talking isn't the point, but it makes the piece feel very tedious at times. I definitely think it's worth the watch though if you set yourself aside the time. Weird that taking 2 hours seems extraordinary. If you like dark humor and the LA nights aesthetic, you'll be glad you took the time, even through the tedium. Stick it out. I think if they'd shaved off a half hour (not sure from where exactly), it would be 5 stars.
