Both Clooney and Pitt bring their breezy charm and movie star solidity to their parts and it works, they have good chemistry as they have proven multiple times before, and both have some decent comedic chops. This isn't something we haven't seen them do before nor is the story particularly original but its entertaining and fills a particular genre void in the current release schedule. The talented supporting cast is limited namely Amy Ryan and Poorna Jagannathan, who are each in it for basically one scene, and then Austin Abrams who gives an effective and surprisingly bizarre turn as the object of the leads mission.
The film looks decent, shot on location in NYC, a good soundtrack/score, its effective, workmanlike, without much pretention and that's OK. This is an old school piece of adult entertainment and it is a solid example of such.
A quality popcorn flick.
