It Could Have Been So Much Better
For the life of me, I will never understand why they put Hong Chau in that ridiculous gray wig. What were they thinking? In her every scene that was all I could focus on.
I have never read any of these author's books, so I am unable to compare the book with the movie.
The performances were fine, but the script...the script. All I can say is that as we watched it, I was predicting many of the lines to my husband before the characters even said them, that is how predictable it was. When certain new characters would appear, I would say to my husband, "oh, this one will be killed next." Every single time, I was correct. That is how predictable it was.
All in all, we actually did enjoy it simply because we were trying to figure out which roles would turn out to be the bad guys. I love being outsmarted by the creators. I just wish the scriptwriters were more talented.
And Gabriel Basso is fine, though he still looks like the handsome teenager he was in The Big C. I am glad he got this gig and wish him lots of success.
