Stories about absolutely psychopathic people who love each other despite how utterly insane they each are, are almost always a lot of fun, and this one is definitely a lot of fun.
Really vibrant depiction of the time and place of the universe of the movie. Really vibrant (literally) style on the flashback sequences (which felt a bit much at first, but was totally worth it just for the red glare off the Coke machine visually representing Lou's past and present facing up to each other). The movie did an excellent job of having fun with it's concept and conceits, while also taking itself seriously in the right way at the right times.
