What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Bobby's effort to complete a money-laundering delivery is continually endangered by Ricky's loud, movie-inspired behavior.
Bobby relies on Ricky as his best friend and partner even as Ricky's antics threaten Bobby's attempt to move beyond low-level work.
Ricky has absorbed one too many mafia movies, making his behavior a direct comic distortion of gangster-film posturing.
The struggling boxer and bodyguard Bobby accepts the New York delivery because he wants to move up from work he hates.
