You mean, that some characters appeared in different
stories and that the stories were out of order.

Don't see what's so good about that.

Funny lines and catchy dialogue.

Still don't see what's so "nuanced" about the characters.

Just because Travolta and Jackson discuss the Netherlands
doesn't mean they are "nuanced."

The characters in 'The Last Boyscout' were
far more nuanced.

Just like 'The Last Boyscout'

Where? I've never even heard this. Fans of the movie
have never said this and no one in this post has
mentioned it.

That means that it isn't even noteworthy to its
fans.

In which case you're just inventing reasons
to like it.

Jesus H. Christ.

"Moral Depth."

I'm taking a nap.
