A movie that constantly and deliberately reminds you that you are watching a movie, rather than escaping into it, is rather pretentious and a little tedious in my opinion.
The story was unnecessarily complex as the style of narration deliberately hindered understanding in an effort to be "cool and funny", but just came off as irritating. The few, admittedly good, jokes were out of place in the context of the story therefore lacking any additional punch - exactly what Lethal Weapon and his other movies managed so well.
Not a bad movie, but not nearly as good as it thinks it is.
I suspect its one of those films that a certain type of person pretends to like more than they really do (you know who you are :) ). I was very disappointed.
