Your mother was right: naughty people are naughty, and you shouldn't play with them. Though it can be fun to watch others play with those proverbial matches. Despite the ethereal presence of Blake Lively here, Anna Kendrick is the shining star--and not just because I've crushed on her since forever. Her slightly-goofy, next-door-girl appeal provides interesting and entertaining relief against this story's noirish aspects and lifts the proceedings into rarer air than this flick would probably otherwise attain. A couple of demerits must be noted due to the use of one particular old cliched trope, plus some mild predictability in the climax, but those are quibbles. All in all, this flick is a fun watch.
