While I like the idea, and I can't think of many ways they could have made it clear that it was a dress shirt without that much of the button panel visible (maybe a breast pocket?), the only people I've ever seen wear a necktie that short were on stage as comedians, and I find that kind of jarring.
i think it's a beauty. good idea, good execution. i didn't try to figure out the logistics at first, since it doesn't bother me, but maybe the tie isn't short. perhaps his shirt came untucked while he did his thing...
what i like is that it gets your attention, then you look closer for the 'get'.
i vote "great."
If I remember the movie right, he spends quite a lot of it running around pantsless -- this could be a shot of the abdomen of the shirt.
It looks bloody good to me too. The logic of the tie length didn't occur to me at all, just a really nice clever idea.
