This is a funny noir comedy, well made with an excellent cast. I really like Carlyle so I could not be completely impartial.
It is a film that gives you some laughs, but it does not let you to yell to miracle. I don't see it as a cult movie (like could be "The Full Monty" to me) as I have read here in the comments. It needed something more.
The actors and the dialogue are the masters here, but also the scenery, the photograph is taken care of. It is well packaged but the plot is not very thorough, it might have been better use the element of surprise and a few more dialog jokes would not hurt at all too. It is not very exciting and it feel like a little flat.
In any case, the movie has managed to put a smile on my face from beginning to end giving me a few very good laugh.
A good debut for Carlyle as a director with some space for improvement.
It should be 7/10 to me.
