Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
