So I wasn’t expecting much, when I started watching this last night. OMFG was I completely wrong.

This movie is so bad it is almost an achievement. I made it 60 minutes into the movie before I quit. I don’t get Glenn Powell. He is pretty but he has zero screen presence.

Just skip this crap.

It never even crossed my mind to watch that movie. If you feel the need to cleanse yourself by watching a seriously good adaption of the source material, I can recommend the 1970 German TV movie (which preceded both the Schwarzenegger movie and the King novel upon which it was based):
