9 out of 10, I truly enjoyed this flick as Darren Aronovsky abandoned his usual
uber-serious tone with an attempt at an Americanized version of a Guy
Ritchie-type gangster dark comedy. Austin Butler confirms his movie star status
as he effortlessly carries the complex plot through. He plays a NYC bartender
who’s next door neighbor/drug dealer leaves him with the keys to his apartment
as well as making him a target for competing gangsters and corrupt cops. This
is one of those movies where the hero just can’t buy a break and has to deal
with the aftermath of the choices he’s confronted with. The rest of the cast is
great, if extremely expendable to the plot twists. A fun movie to watch as you can’t
help but root for Butler as he tries to survive.
MVP:
Butler as the monumentally unlucky Hank
