So unbelievably predictable I guessed the end before even starting to watch the film!

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2018)

All you have to do is read the synopsis and the 'twist' in the film is blatantly obvious. Still, I watched this on recommendation, hoping that perhaps I was wrong and that I was going to have a big surprise. I did not. But not only that, the film plays out in a manner that makes it so obvious what the 'twist' is going to be that not only can I not believe for a second that no one guessed the ending well in advance but also it renders the film pointless. I found myself watching and thinking "the ending can't possibly be this obvious, there must be something else going on". But there wasn't.
Aside from that, I could not enjoy the process of just watching the film and letting go of the obvious ending because the acting from everyone was horrid and bizarre. I felt like I was watching a play - everyone seemed to over act and talk too loud, as if performing for an audience and being conscious that people at the back needed to hear. Scorsese's direction is also terrible and there's loads of continuity errors. It also had a pretentious air of 'profoundness' that bordered on laughable.
In a word, ludicrous.
