7/10
The Coens are better as a team, but this is still pretty darn good.

I think the biggest problem with this movie is the trailer paints a different movie. The case is very important to the story, but it's definitely in the backseat while the love story rides shotgun and the buddy/roadtrip movie is in the driver's seat.

Qualley is always great and it's no different here, she's doing a lot of the heavy lifting to keep the movie going and stole every scene.

Viswanathan is delightful as her more reserved counterpart, she is the "straight-man" of the comedic duo and she's just right for the part.

Joey Slotnick was a very pleasant surprise, he went all-in playing a bumbling tough guy and he plays so well off of Wilson.

The movie has some parts that don't make a ton of sense, it's got a few scenes that could've been tweaked, (Jamie doesn't even check the case Matt Damon hands over) but overall it was such a fun ride and Marian and Jamie were a ton of fun.
