Most of the dissatisfied reviewers ignore the fact that this is a black comedy. There has to be some discomfort in it.
And what most if not all of them overlook is that Gary is taken over (killed in some sense) by Ron, after a tour de force of acting as various hit men. That, and the all out love affair between Ron and Maddy, explains it all.
It's fiction, well written and well acted, with a clever plot, a shocking ending and a boffo performance by Glen Powell. Look for it to receive some awards including a best writing nod.
The scene where Gary/Ron is feeding Maddy information via his smart phone while trying to make sure she doesn't confess, is screwball classic.
This film is a treasure and deserves to be enjoyed.
