Increasingly Amusing

I make it a point to never watch trailers, so I’ll never know what’s coming. The music and setting suggests that it’s an action thriller, but people don’t say things like that in an action thriller. So, maybe it’s a cloak & dagger mystery movie, but people don’t do things like that in a mystery movie, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera...
Then, it dawns on you — the writing is genuinely brilliant, and the acting is even better.
This movie is a crescendo.
Right off the bat, you see amusing movie clichés, and you start smiling.
The characters are charming, and some of the things they actually say (with a straight face) are preposterous.
The longer you watch, the funnier it gets.
Just thinking about the final two lines make me laugh, and I haven’t seen the movie in months!
