Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
