The story is a typical crime comedy with dark humor. Several people with different goals get together. They want to make a fortune through extortion, but things go wrong and backfire. The seemingly perfect plan turns out to be a loophole. Hundreds of people, a few people are gradually deviating from the track, the busier and more chaotic, the further they "go", and of course they will give the audience an unexpected ending when they are about to be cornered at the end.
The haphazardly unemployed man—Charlie—played by David Davemer, the same David Davemer who played Ross on the famous soap opera "Friends." I believe this is also the role that almost everyone is most impressed by him. I'm afraid Ross is also David Davemer's most successful role so far. And the role he plays in this movie is so similar to that of Ross in "Friends", it can be said that he is the Ross of the movie version. He is also a learned man, full of professional knowledge that makes people confused, cautious, timid, but kind-hearted and affectionate, which also makes at the end, when he makes an amazing move, The contrast is so strong. Having played "Ross" for ten years, David Davemer should have mastered this type of role with ease, and practice makes perfect, which is really not a challenge. The performance in the play is also mediocre. I remember that he played a stern commander in "Band of Brothers", which left some impressions, but he has to work hard to break through the classic "Ross" image of the decade.
Simon Pegg, I really like this British actor, he starred in the two "Zombie Shaun" and "Blood Detective", really brilliant. In this film, he plays a liar full of lies, which is slightly different from those two films, but he should also be regarded as a small person. Simon Pegg has brought to life the portrayals of various little people. Given that there is not much breakthrough, I am afraid it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.
Other roles, such as the youthful and beautiful Alice Eve, and Jon Polito's portrayal of the fussy federal detective, were only mediocre. It can also be seen that the director and screenwriter put a lot of thought into the design of the plot and the scheduling of shots, and the effect is not bad, but it is a little bit worse from the classic level. The Olympic runner-up is also something to be proud of, but is the champion better? Woolen cloth?
This should be regarded as a relatively stable, but no breakthrough crime comedy!
