The arms deal version of a fight at a wedding...
Fights at a wedding are usually fun to watch if you're an unconnected bystander... however, after a while they start getting repetitive. The same applies with this.
I watched the film, and then went back and watched the first 15 minutes all over again... It's one of those films where so many characters are introduced in a short space of time, that it works better when you've got it all straightened out in your head who everybody is (at least for me).
Once the first shot is fired in anger, the character beats kind of get lost in a hail of bullets, which I thought was a shame, as I was enjoying the crackling dialogue... It all depends on whether you want one particular type of film, instead of a messy blend of two styles - both are done well, they just don't really work, together!
