Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
