A lot to recommend it, but it kind of fizzles out at the end.
It's vintage Shane Black, if you like vintage Shane Black. Excellent use of violence [if you see it or are familiar with Shane, you know what I mean].
Worth a rental or watch on streaming. I can see where people called it an overlooked gem. But I can also see why it was overlooked. It's offbeat to begin with, and like I said it kind of fizzles it's promise overall. Don't take that as a severe rebuke, more of a 'aww, this could have been even more.'
It has one of the funniest bits of physical comedy in the scene referenced in spoilers below. Also, has a great homage to classic physical comedy, again spoilered.

Me and my girl tried watching this one tonight and got about 35 minutes in before she asked to turn it off in favor of some Jim Gaffigan stand-up.
That bathroom scene was hilarious, though. Some good acting by Gosling there. He legitimately looked frazzled.
Also, "Wanna see my dick?"
