It moves along agreeably with enough going on to hold your interest, Although extremely jokey, it's ultimately rather touching...though it does incur the situational risk of when everything's a con, it feels like nothing is at stake. Rinko Kikuchi steals a bunch of scenes without uttering a single word.

I took me this long to see this although I've enjoyed Johnson's earlier ones and con artist films in general. In retrospect, it's a difficult 2nd film after promising "Brick". Scale is bigger but focus & tone are all over the map; too many unnecessary locations, silly comedy that confuses in a film which gets darker as it progresses. I expect a clever script from a film about con men and it didn't deliver apart from perhaps the ending. Actors are fine but the characters remain distant.

The characters are always charming and the hijinks are boisterous and clever in the first two acts, but mire and drag a bit in the last; the film feels long by its end. Gems of humour and wit abound early, while the final act sees those qualities largely give way to the single conceit of “Is this a con?”, which doesn’t feel sufficient in the face of the film’s energetic earlier layers.

Having watched The Brothers Bloom after seeing Johnson's more recent work, I spent most of the film waiting for some form of subversion that never came. Expectations aside, the film is well-acted with a Wes-Anderson-esque quirkiness that I found a little alienating. The smaller moments are when the film's at it's best. Entertaining, but still underwhelming.

I dunno, early Rian Johnson is just too terminally meta to have any earnest weight to it. At least the dialogue isn't a pain, I guess
