While not the main character, Vaughn continues winning me over with another good performance. Some of the directorial choices are amateurish, like pretty much whenever Duke would zoom in right before a scene transition. Dialogue started clever, got a little less so as it went on, but there were still a fair bit of wit throughout. Liked this a lot more at the beginning and it lost me a little as it continued, but it's almost a "good" movie.

Uneven & seems muddled in its aims | Some interesting ?s but didn't all successfully gel overall | Quiet drollery & kookiness but, @ times, stretches 2 hard 4 it | Shoots 4 Coens tone (showing yet again just how hard that is 2 do) | Saw few clear stabs @ Scorcese-ish Rock (Southern) ? with violence | Liked J.Malk + Omar's perfs | Liam OK | Best ?:Just type of dramatic role, crime milieu, Vaughn needs & I wanted (see Cell Block 99 remarks) ? Im Glad watched, but..mmmh..3?
