This first begins kind of schmaltzy like where is the comedy, lots of talking, only in the beginning, because then the comedy appears and it is like yes. Highlight is the action sequences. Indeed this is about the gangster element, something that is made for movies, a pedestrian subject for me preferring more fantastical elements (spies, sword busters, etc) however the movie just uses it as a dressing because the main salad is the domestic farce mixed with shootouts, happening at the same instance in numerous sequences while the gangsters try not to interfere with the regular 'civilian' people's happenings which is the hilarity happening.
