Director and actor murder great potential

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2020)

Okay so the movie is SUPPOSED to be about an average Joe who ends up in a weird spy double cross rebel vs evil mastermind type deal, but it's meant to be amvigiÃ¸is whether or not the events in the movie is reality or merely inside the protagonists head.
However, due to how they wrote the screenplay they absolutely cut out any ambiguity by having scenes that would not exist if it wasn't reality, ie scenes without the protagonist that clearly align with the notion that the events of the movie are in fact real.
If this had been a better screenplay pick from the many they wrote for it, and if they didn't let Arnold's image to taint the character too much (replacing cynical humour with just brute force) and just go with someone like Dreyfuss... It could have been great.
This movie just makes me sad that out of all the potential from this short story, THIS is the drivel we got from it.
God damn it. God. Damn. It.
