The Safdies have got the 'chancer hangs on by their fingernails' film down to a tee. Funnier than Good Life, but just as effective. Sandler is fantastic, surrounded by a bunch of strong supporting performances (even the celebs playing themselves are solid to very good). Again, direction is slick and stylish, great use of neon, black-light and synth without it feeling like lazy 80s retro, and the pacing (while appropriately slower) is a perfect build-up.
