Looks like was directed by Nolan/Malick/Fincher

This is intriguing, Robert Rodriguez seems to be channelling other film makers , hypnotising the viewer if you will, into thinking its a Nolan movie or Fincher or even Terrence Malick, the trailer looks/feels like all three of those guys (Nolan the most)

I saw a comment elsewhere saying it looks like an AI created Nolan movie and that's true, it has a Nolan Batman (Nolan exec produced BvS) vs William Fitchner (of TDK opening, set in a bank!)

Add the Sci fi element, potential twists etc this could be one to see

It looks cool. I love Ben Affleck as an actor. I’m looking forward to this.

I don't know. It's a bit of a red flag that almost no marketing was seen for this until a couple weeks ago.

I never heard of this until it was released

It was a terrible movie. I saw it for free and was angry that I wasted my time with it.

I'm 15 minutes in and it's horrible. Bad writing, bad directing. What happened to RR? He used to be a talent, this is uninspired dreck.

Yeah. He used to be fun director. I have liked all his films (except his kid films and Machete Kills). I think their was no promotion for this movie, because they realized the story was terrible. It’s as if two kids are playing and one says I cut your arm off and the other says no I have rejuvenation powers. The film is like that for 90 minutes and it never gets any better.

Yeah it is very childlike. I was wondering if a child was involved in writing it. Maybe AI wrote it. But even the direction is terribly bad and child like.
