Good movie with some fine acting and an interesting script, albeit a bit too silly for it to be in any way believable. The production work and the music is great though and there is a a lot of fun to be had with this movie, IF you can get past the somewhat depressing and cynical undertone.

way too much focus on a sting of unlucky coincidences, making this movie really pessimistic and depressing. it does have the right aesthetics and impressive casting. it also gave me some admiration for U2, but i don't think that's the point...
