Cillian Murphy sheds his serious persona in this underrated romantic comedy.
Cillian Murphy is an actor who doesn't tend to be associated with the comedy category very often. The Irish star made a name for himself thanks to his gripping dramatic work in Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or winner The Wind That Shakes The Barley, and he solidified his reputation worldwide with his stone-cold performances in BBC’s Peaky Blinders and the largely humorless Christopher Nolan films he’s appeared in.
Neil’s life revolves around having control; the Gumshoe Video is essentially a shrine to his interests, and his employees, Jonathan , Andy , and Buddy , are forced to comply with even the strictest of his commands. However, this all changes when the mysterious woman Violet enters his shop and blatantly ignores his advice. Her rudeness matches his, but for once, Neil isn’t able to tell her what to do.
Violet is just as childish as Neil is, but the film keeps her backstory closed off so that she appears like a mysterious enigma in Neil's life. It's easy to see how her behavior could be perceived as irritating from the start from any other characters' point-of-view, but for Neil, she feels like a larger-than-life character from one of the noirs that he loves.
Cillian Murphy and Lucy Liu Have Great Chemistry Capturing the persona of such a specific type of film fan is an achievement in its own right, but what makes Liu and Murphy’s work such a standout is how they show their characters' evolution. Neil's decision to end things with Violet is spurred out of his inability to control things; it’s like he’s a young child who gets mad when his toys aren’t working.
