Watch "Match Point" instead
This is a tough one. I liked the concept and the overall story. However i feel like it missed the mark on occasions.
The acting was decent. Felt like each character was built upon chemistry and realism. It kept me entertained for the most part.
The times jumps at the beginning worked and created suspense. Leaving the viewer unsure of what the history our 3 characters share however, the time jumps became a bit too rapid and i personally found it harder to keep up with where we are in the story. I feel like they could've left out a few scenes to make the story flow smoother.
The soundtrack was interesting. Not sure if it suited the mood of the film. But my biggest gripe is the ridiculously slowed down ending. Not sure what the director was thinking with that one.
The conclusion felt like it was going on for 1 hour and i felt it a little cheesy with the last scene of the film.
Overall I see a lot of influence from the film "Match Point" starring Scarlet Johansson. In my opinion that film was far more successful in what "challengers" was attempting.
Overall, bit hit and miss. Some decent moments but nothing to get you excited about or talk about after.
