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.

I think Glen Powell was miscast for this movie. If you watch Hit Man or Twisters the man can act and does have charisma and screen presence, just in a different way than this movie wanted him to show it as the angriest man alive.

I had fun with the movie but I was hoping it would be better. It had a lot of satire and poking at issues in the current world but never fully delivered on any idea fully.

I didn’t see hitman, but I did see Twisters and naw he dragged that one down too. I also saw him in Everyone Wants Some and he was just as flat in that.
