Offbeat comedy thriller is enjoyable to watch, helped in part by its unusual characters and off the wall dialogue.

This is Macon Blair's directorial debut. Given he produced and starred in 'Green Room' and 'Blue Ruin' I was really keen to see what he could do. The problem with this film is that it isn't quite sure what it wants to be. It's too funny to be a thriller, and it has to many serious elements to be a full out comedy. Therefore it ends up being a mish mash of both. It's a bit like a Ben Wheatley black comedy co-written by Edgar Wright. While that might sound appealing it just doesn't click with me because it gets it a bit wrong, especially in the final act. I really liked Elijah Wood's character and I was totally on board with what the film was actually trying to tell me, it just didn't pull it off very well. Blair is still one to watch though I feel. 6/10

Fun, light hearted yet darkish buddy movie with good dialogue. The beginning is a bit slow and a few scenes are weak but it really picks up 1/3 into the movie and the last 30 minutes are great. “Have you ever eaten cat meat?”… hilarious!

Decent but not nearly worth all of the praise that it received

Jeremy Saulnier and Macon Blair are fantastic filmmakers. I can't wait for whatever they are doing next.
