An interratial couple and their extravagant third wheel get caught up in a conspiracy to over throw the presidency of the united states. This chaotic mess provides the film with some very entertaining moments with killer performances from Bale and Robbie. However, the messy nature of the film causes some pacing issues leading to a rather lackluster final sequence with no real emotive connection to the characters.

The 1930s do provide a nice aesthetic which combines with the cinematography to produce a unique look. The constant close ups did have me thinking I'd ended up in some twisted peep show parody. The style was particularly detrimental to JDW who looked awkward on more than one occasion. Overall the film makes for some light relief and is an easy watch. I also couldn't help feeling that there was some unfilled potential with the score.
