Watchable, quirky noir


Watchable, quirky, funny, farcical, dark humour. Comparisons with the Coens are inevitable but it doesn't quite manage to punch at their level.

A band practice night goes very wrong when 3 friends decide to drink and smoke too much. What follows is an attempt to cover crime and save face. The line between drama and comedy isn't really melded together that well (something the Coens do perfectly). But the performances are pretty good and it never feels long or a drag at any point.

I like that the title character is called Dick Long given the connotations. And the character Earl sounded just like Danny McBride in Eastbound and Down.

6.4/10
