Interesting Story, Lackluster Execution

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2018)

Overall this movie is pretty fun, but the evolution of the story lost something as it went. Having seen a trailer beforehand, I thought I had an idea of what was going on beforehand, but it turned out I essentially knew the entire story, which is the problem I have with this movie: the turn comes so quickly, and after that point guessing the rest of the story is impossible not to do.
The acting was fantastic, save for the campy, irritating best friend. The biggest irritation was the forced stupidity/ignorance of the main character. It should have been fairly obvious to him very early on what was happening, but it took him essentially the entire movie to get the idea. I don't hold this to the actor though - it's necessary to keep the plot "moving".
