Brad Pitt and George Clooney play two sides of the same coin in Jon Watts's jaunty, high-concept comedy-thriller about a pair of self-styled lone wolves who find they've been double-booked.
Wolfs, incidentally, lists the stars' characters as Nick and Jack, although so far as I could tell they never actually state their names. Implicitly the film wants us to regard them as Pitt and Clooney.
If Watts had seen fit to flip the ticket - to cast Pitt as Jack and Clooney as Nick - would it have made any difference? Almost certainly not, because the point is that these fixers are two peas in a pod.
The young stud (who is credited as Kid and played with a gauche, beta-male charm by Austin Abrams) turns out not to be dead and then promptly absconds. Now he's running amok.
