Some decent moments but mostly a hot mess

Pedestrian and contrived, is what comes to mind. Very "trying too hard" and discordant, but not in any meaningful or purposed sense, felt more like meandering struggling to break free of itself. Screams of "effort" but without substance or expression to anything connectable or believable.

Not trying to be mean, just that's wht it seemed to be while watching. "An attempt."

Simply, there are no people like this, who make these choices, and who ever experience the events presented. Not in any "what if" scenario, does it work. It is deeply dishonest in that way. If there were magical fantasy elements, it would have been more "honest" somehow.

Sure it's fiction, but clearly fiction serves only pandering, when not cathartic.

F. M. Abraham was good (as usual!), and Noomi brought the crazy (ooooh!), but overall felt like a mish-mash of genre tropes, ultimately collapsing under it's own weight.

Oh and was the big house at the end underground or did Colin's charcter build a very large ramp first?

The credits just rolled, and the fake dub step during in the credits "sealed the deal" in my thoughts about this movie (and I loooooooove dub step).

This isn't Noir, just remedial storytelling, unbalanced, misguided, with too much hand-holding, and not enough of anything satisying, ultimately wanting to be more than what appears on screen.

It's not edgy, as some claim; it's just poorly executed with obvious signs of being over-produced. The phrase "too many cooks in the kitchen" comes to mind.

I like the director's other works, and here some scenes worked, but overall this felt like it missed the high bar it set for itself.

Anyone else?
