Joyous, sharp, and full of life. It's well cast, and Ansel Elgort anchors things well, which is important. The character does a lot of dodgy stuff but you can't help feel sympathy for him with his ear condition and dead mother. He and Lily James are sweet.
I felt structurally maybe the film shouldn't have had Elgort get off the hook with Spacey, hang around with James for ten minutes, then get put back on the hook - it was a release of tension. Also Jon Hamm continually coming back to life at the end like a super villain got a bit wearisome.
But I liked what Kevin Spacey's character did at the end, and I liked how he went to prison. Walter Hill provides a voice cameo at the end, in the trial!
