Frustrating. It was pretty great, and had some FANTASTIC scenes and beats, but I couldn't help but feel that it kind of succeeded in spite of Schumacher and it's time of making. Like the script and central performances could have made it a true classic, but there are just all these little bad 90s touches in the way it's shot, or the totally over the top music at points, various other things. Also there are certain characters (I'm thinking mainly of the 'annoying' cop and the latino gangsters) that are just suddenly so characture and awful that they really pull you out of the film. I don't know, it was a great idea, kind of an American 'Weekend', and it so
almost gets it right that you end up slightly angry at, even though on it's own terms it's still a solid film...
