This film takes you on a wild ride through the minds of some truly bizarre characters who are trying to cover up their heinous acts. The plot is a rollercoaster of ridiculous schemes and unexpected detective brilliance. While it does have its moments of brilliance, there are times when the pacing feels a bit uneven, and some jokes might not land as intended. Still, the chemistry among the cast is delightful, and the witty dialogue keeps things lively. It’s not your typical crime film, and that’s what makes it refreshing. Just be prepared for some outrageous scenarios and a fair bit of dark humour that might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you enjoy a good laugh with your thrillers, give it a go! Show less
