This is a really great black comedy (just to be clear, the genre is from from the French, 1935: humour noir). Though it's paced like a thriller, it is actually more 'comedy' than 'black.' And for me, it just plain works: the only time I wasn't grinning, I was laughing. But like all black comedies, the grins are what you came for, not belly laughs.
For some reason, THE JOB reminds me a little of the late, great Paul Bartel. I think the first "indie" movie I ever saw, and certainly the first humour noir, was Bartel's 1982 cult masterpiece, "Eating Raoul." (And that was in, uhhh, 1982.) Even if THE JOB is a bit less over-the-top, I can easily imagine Bartel making this flick, or perhaps appearing in it as one of his many, many droll cameos in other indie director's films.
There's almost nothing I can say about the plot without spoiling something, so I won't. The actors are all good, especially Ron Perlman -- he's great here, a cross between Tom Waits and Sid Haig (and that's a big complement, not that I would expect anything less from Perlman).
Let me be clear: there is very little violence, blood, sex or even action in this movie. Even the bad guys are totally tongue-in-cheek. But if you're in the mood for some big grins, and more whimsy than action, then kick back with THE JOB. And don't blame me if you get a headache from wearing a stupid grin for an hour or two.
