This has some wild camera work, a demented sense of humour, and possibly the single most ridiculous car crash ever put to screen... and not much else — save for a downright bizarre detour in the last couple of minutes that elevates this mediocre crime comedy into something far more metaphysical. It doesn't exactly redeem the film's shortcomings but it certainly recontextualises a whole lot of what just transpired.
