my notes

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2019)

Well made movie with a good story that kept me interested throughout. funny and entertaining. i was close to giving it a 7/10 but there is one scene that i really disliked (2 viewings)

SPOILERS

(continued) the one with mike in the restaurant. it was extremely awkward and seemed very useless and like it had nothing to do with the rest of the movie. after researching it, it seems that the purpose of the scene is to help her realize that people lie and not to give people the benefit of the doubt. i get it, and it makes sense. i still don't like the scene. i felt like it took away from the movie and they could have found a better way to show that, or to even remove it completely. it also annoyed me that she would do that after seeing how loving her relationship with her husband was. before that i really loved her character. and i'm down for a flawed protagonist, but it just rubbed me the wrong way
i loved theme of greed and how almost everyone in the story met their doom because of their greed. without it, each of their stories would have had a much better ending
