Stylish but barely mediocre overall

A Brilliant Conflict

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
