Not much I can say about this one past what the trailer portrays… It’s weird, and you’ll be shaking your head most of the movie…

It took me a while to find my bearings with this one. I never realized how much a character being able to feel pain and be vulnerable in some fashion played into the overall experience. Once I acclimated, I was all the way in and loved this one! It was a fun action flick with a nice couple twists and a love story woven in. Jack Quaid really makes this one, with the perfect mix of quirky to make the wacky premise work at it’s fullest potential.

One for the books – Mostly – because it was so damn HUMAN.
Brendan Fraser is really knocking it out of the park lately, and really just seems like a genuinely good dude on and off the screen.
I wasn’t expecting such weight from such a tight runtime, but here we are. Every character is played to perfection and the focus on relationships really drives home the importance of connection in this world, more and more with each passing day. Go on that adventure you’ve been daydreaming about. Get lost in the beauty of the world around you. The good stuff is often in the messy stuff… this one should be talked about A LOT come awards season.

Hard to believe this comes from the guy who made “Magic Mike.” I’m here to tell you, there’s a hidden genius in those films under the veneer of male strippers. But I digress…
A well done, tight runtime, razor focused whodunit that Michael Fassbender was made to lead. It’ll keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end and scratching your head throughout. Extremely well done and a welcomed breath of fresh air amongst what has been a ROUGH start to the year, movies-wise.

Odd timing for the release, given Jonathan Majors’ recent career events… but an incredible film nonetheless.
Just when you thin to yourself “oh this can’t get worse,” it does. WAY worse. SO many spirals and close calls with destiny in this 2 hour runtime. Get ready for the definition of delusion and character study to be on full display as you travel the entire spectrum of emotions multiple times along the journey.
