A movie for white people to feel good about not being racist

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2019)

Am I the only one to think the writing was awful? Everything in this movie is a stereotype and it follows an annoyingly predictable plot. It's so obvious Doc was going to spend Christmas at home with his driver, it was obvious the second policeman was going to help, it was obvious that he was not going to play the last concert.
Are we also to believe that a hugely popular musician taking a pay cut with a purpose in mind would agree to some strange clause in the contract that if he doesn't play every single one of the venues, they don't get paid at all? I think he needs a new agent...
This is just one of the many things in this movie that I just did not find believable at all. The exposition, as a result, feels heavy-handed and forced.
Everything about it was such a cliché, from beginning to end. I wanted to like it but I found it utterly ridiculous, aside from a few light and enjoyable moments.
The acting was perhaps the only redeemable aspect, and I can only say that for Viggo and Mahershala as many of the extras were horrendous.
