It's a fairly interesting story, I guess. I never really got behind any of the characters. It seems like they had to make a choice between focusing on an unlikable character (a cold-blooded murderer), or on a relatively boring character (the protagonist/narrator). They went with the unlikable one, which is certainly the better of the two, but they shouldn't have had to make that choice in the first place. I mean, if your protagonist is boring, make a different movie.
