Eminently forgettable entertainment

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2019)

Saw this with a friend at an advance screening, so at least we didn't have to pay for it. This film felt like it was trying oh so hard to be "fun" and "hip" but ended up falling flat. The plot gets convoluted, and confusing at times. The device of having Ana de Armas' character vomit when she lies was pretty dumb. At two hours and 10 minutes, it's at least 45 minutes too long. It wasn't awful (if it was, we would've left), but left us both feeling "meh." It was fun watching the actors wolfing down the scenery, and so was not too unpleasant way of passing the time. But this isn't a movie I'd recommend to anyone.
