I don’t need a genre to stick to one thing, so the tonal variety bothers me, but the performance? That’s another story. The camerawork and acting? Top-notch. The set design and writing? Not so much. Okay, maybe not *terrible*, but definitely weak. The vibe I got was, “People are stupid; they won’t doubt it. “They’ll set off a bomb with some cliché visual or stage a massive public murder and – surprise! – no cops show up. It’s just that our sly, thieving protagonist is looking for clues, like it’s a murder mystery lunch. It’s the kind of lazyness that makes a pedant want to cry. Which means if you can silence the little voice in your head that whispers, “That’s not how the world works,” you might like it..
