I wasn't too hot on it the first time around. Now I think it's more uneven than the first one but might be better. The highs are hella high but other times it sounds phoned in. I'd still love to hear a more ambitious project from the two of them.
Choice cuts: Blockbuster Night Part I, Lie, Cheat, Steal, Love Again
Took me a long time to get into, and some of the writing leaves a lot to be desired. The early Chabrol country/city stuff might do it for you, or the commentary on violence, personally it just became a much more tense and interesting movie in the last third. Kind of a less explicit Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.
