It has all the right ingredients and some fine actors. But good dark movies, going back to 40s noir, up to Tarantino, are about great sharp dialogue.
There are conversations that try to be sharp and witty, but it almost all fell flat for me, except for Brad Pitt. It was all wannabe stylish slice of lowlife culture, but it was merely competent. Not terrible, but nothing I would see again.
