Characters!
21 January 2011
A movie by a member of Broken Lizard that rings a bit like "clerks". I wondered the whole time how many scenes were inspired by old film noir stuff. I wish I had seen more of that style of gumshoe stuff. I always liked the banter. Cillian was likable in his role, and reasonably hesitant. Lucy is trying to show more range. I would have liked to seen more from Jason Sudekis and I saw one of the guys from "The League" in there. I liked the premise, the playful tone of Violets character and the best part? Detectives Barlow & Lowenstein, Hilarious! I wonder who is the Sebadoh fan. Lou Barlow & Jason Lowenstein are two parts of the Boston indie band Sebadoh. The sets could have been lit better, more contrast to get that feel, the way the old movies looked with the characters in dimly lit rooms.
