The movie, believe it or not, gives pleasure.

Its a stark, violent, cynical but thoroughly entertaining caper picture.

(Gillian Flynn is McQueens co-writer.)

Veronica has a reason not to think so fondly of Harry, though.

But there is hope.

Points for ambition, anyway.

As for Duvall, I imagine him asking McQueen, Who is this guy you want me to play?

and McQueen saying, Hes a screaming asshole, and Duvall saying, I can do that.

He can do that.

Debicki is a joy.

Spoiler alert: The dog is okay and Daviss Veronica carries the little guy around with her everywhere.
