Quirky and Dark

Rating: 2/10 (26 February 2017)

I imagine the only reason this was made was due to the very quirky script that attracted Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz. Two names that can carry enough weight to get a script made into a movie. The premise is well known so I won't get into it here. Suffice to say that this was billed as a dark comedy and although I can agree with the dark part, it was not really comedy. I laughed out loud only once but did chuckle a few times here and there. Mostly I wondered why this was made as much more deserving scripts are out there looking for producers and funding so why waste money on this crap. It is nominated for an Academy Award for screenplay due to it being completely outside the box. The producers thought they could find an audience as it is different. I really hope this one doesn't win anything. It does not deserve to be rewarded.
