Most of the jokes are fairly flat and rote (though it's nice to see T.J. Jagodowski and Dave Pasquasi get bit parts)--Oliver Platt is painfully bad. But it's very well directed and works surprisingly well as neo-Noir or suspense. Dave Kehr says it's the best Hollywood movie of the year on his new blog, which I think reflects lowered expectations. It's at least the best Harold Ramis project since Groundhog Day, though.
