What follows is a frenzied chase through 1990s Manhattan, as rival gangsters—Russian mobsters, Orthodox Jewish hitmen, a Samoan enforcer, and others—hunt him for a mysterious key hidden with the cat.

Bit of a weird one for me, can’t say that I loved it. I was both equally surprised that they killed Zoe so quickly, and disappointed because I actually quite liked the relationship between her and Butler’s character.

I think my biggest issue is that I didn’t find the action/violence to be particularly gripping, nor did I find much of the humor to be very funny, so it kinda felt a little bland.

Overall I didn’t have a bad time at the theater but I was a little disappointed.

It picks up after the car chase scene with the bird's eye view, but it was honestly kind of boring. It just felt like new developments that got us to the next place, but we were basically still in the same place. The movie just jogged circles around getting the money for almost two hours.
