Senseless paranoia...

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2018)

Sarah Paulson. Strong, caring, optimistic. Lead material. Survived fifteen minutes.
Trevante Rhodes. Strong, caring, optimistic. Lead material. Survived a lot more. Didn't lead anything.
John Malkovich. Pesimistic, sarcastic, paranoid. Lead material. Survived a lot more. The character should've been called John Malkovich as himself.
Sandra Bullock. Sensitive, emotional, strong, dedicated. Lead material. Leads. Not for the best.
Birds. Not many but important. Nobody knows why.
The plot is 'artistically' spotted with segments from the past that are supposed to add drama and depth to the plot. It doesn't.
The movie can be watched from virtually any point without losing anything of value, which is actually quite an achievement.
Also, you can cut and crop the movie any way you want and put it together like in the books with alternative endings and still have exactly the same narrative.
All in all, if you can't sleep and really need to kill some 2 hours, it's alright.
If you like John Malkovich and are also in the habit of doing something else on the side, like I am, it's even easier.
If you want to watch a movie, don't.
It's 4 out of 10 as a mean between 8 for the actors and 0 for the plot.
