The tightrope this film pulls off is that it’s never entirely clear whether Jimmy is indeed pursuing a real killer or if this is all a figment of his imagination.

Weaving and Segel make the film’s first third absolutely compelling, and watching them hurl insults at each other while trying to finish the job for a full 90 or 120 minutes would have undoubtedly been more than sufficiently fun on its own.
