What to Know

Critics Consensus

Trying too hard to be clever in a Pulp Fiction kind of way, this film succumbs to a convoluted plot, overly stylized characters, and dizzying set design.

Garrett H @SpindlyMan 1d I’m not sure why I’ve put this off so long. It’s was pretty dang good. Acting was great. Story has plenty of twists, it’s pretty gripping, and progresses well. Some good jokes. No complaints honestly.

A bit of juicy gossip though from the production - the Best boy's number was up after they were heard bad-mouthing other members of the crew at the wrap party! Always be careful what you say in front of others.... See more Read all reviews
