There's a scene where Colin Farrell has glasses and is brushing his teeth, and for the first time I thought, "Okay, I get it now."
He is so funny in this. I loved the first hour or so when it was centered on him and the dark comedic dialogue. It lost me a bit as it shifted to final act. It was still good, but less fun.
