Spoilers ahead. Jesse Eisenberg is the best thing about this movie, which is far too often unnecessarily and unfunnily crude. The villains are over-the-top enough that any danger never feels like real danger (which means the ending is extremely abrupt and seems out of sync with the rest of the movie). Eisenberg brings a helpless victim quality which makes him a rather likable hero, but the only moment when the movie *really* comes together is during the actual bank robbery - a very funny scene as the two main characters play off each other in attempting to act tough and scary. 2 stars.
Best Part: Bank robbery scene - as stated above.
Worst Part: Just about every time Dwayne opens his mouth. If he had been a less central character, I would probably have enjoyed the movie a lot more.
FlickChart: Landed at #880, right below Le Samourai and above The Mummy (the 1930s version).
