I was really excited to see this film as the concept sounded very intriguing with a black mirror element

The acting is superb and the cast is great but unfortunately the concept starts to drag on as the 3rd act tries to resolve the more complex issues of Love.

It's still an entertaining film as there are multiple elements that each couple brings forth but the silly notion that a machine can determine true love falls flat especially since it's quite obvious the 2 co worker lead actors are more compassionate and compatible than the mundane life with Ryan at home. And the small twist of Natasha is plain silly and would have been better suited if the machine had a permanent malfunction or if the results were the opposite at the end.

Regardless it is a well crafted film yet could have been an exceptional movie

5 stars for the actors.

These short skits are terrible to the point of embarrassment. A cross of juvenile 12 year old jokes with A list actors silly enough to get involved in this trite piece of garbage.

If you like a guy with testicles hanging from his throat that is maybe funny for 2 secs and goes on for too long or a girl that wants a guy to poop on her - then this is your type of film. For anyone with a brain or fully developed frontal lobe it's completely embarrassing even if you are stoned immaculate.

Were the writers on bad drugs or did their 12 year old sons write the jokes because that is what it looks like for all skits.

2 stars for poor actors that had to suffer.

It's always a pleasure to see Sir Anthony Hopkins in yet another superb film with a true story of a true Hero and highly entertaining. The cast and crew did a phenomenal job and it clearly shows the humility and utter kindness of a group willing to sacrifice their free time for the salvation of refugees.

The cinematography is delightful and really captures the 1930s with great directing that moves at a perfect pace and the music is superb. It's rare to find a gem like this film that speaks so beautifully about humanity able to rise to higher ground for those suffering without making it about themselves or some political or religious issues.

It's one of those lost stories of humble human beings that saved hundreds of refugee children in desperate war times. Truly inspirational and maybe it will inspire more people to rise to such unique heights with the war machine back in full force there are more refugees than ever now.

A solid10 and fantastic directing and acting.

This film had all of the great elements of a fabulous film with a group of superb actors and phenomenal director with superb music and cinematography - but someone forgot to write a good script and it falls apart. Amazing how many times a fantastic director thinks that can make a stupid script work and it's impossible most of the time.

In this story the 1st act and set up makes total sense and looks fantastic but the moment Rosario character steps into the film it slowly falls apart to the point that the plot gets too complex like Inception it in this script it is unbelievable and insulting that hypnosis is the tool being used to manipulate the plot/characters to the point that you just scratch your head and wonder why Danny Boyle did it ask for a major rewrite.

Anyways the film is 90% enjoyable and a feast for the eyes but the Rosario Hypnosis doctor character is pathetic and has so many loop holes that make Vincent Cassel go from a bad criminal to being the good guy which is laughable at best - and there is so much cross dream/ past story that it feels like another film like Memento and to the writer and tried to squeeze the life out of the story with impossible results which is a shame.

5 stars for the directing/ actors but easily could have been a 8/9 if the writing was better.

This is one of those type of films that is going to be very controversial as it is a director that has loads of talent yet the script writing is just not up to par.

The acting is very good by all leads with some supporting cast that are marginal but the cinematography and scenes plus music is captivating enough to keep you intrigued. The chemistry between leads are realistic and the lesbian element is not noticeable enough to distract as there is a lot going on in this film.

However the finale is just plain absurd almost borderline bad bizarre like it belongs to another film. It's unfortunate as there was so much wonderful suspense but it went in a direction that was laughable where most in the theatre gasped at the ludicrous image of an Attack of the 50' Giant Steroid Women. Yes it's that kinda crazy so be prepared for a wild ride that's campy and rare to see these days yet not everyone's cup of tea either. I'm looking forward to next film from this director and would like to see her direct someone else script as she reminds one of Refn N - Demon type filmmaker in the rough.

5 stars for Stewart and Malone - but it could have been a 8-9 if not for silly ending.

I'm a big fan of Farrelly brothers and thought maybe with Zac and John Cena this would be a great revival like Dumb n Dumber but it was terrible.

The whole idea is unique of 3 guys making up an imaginary friend to get away with escapades but then enters the John Cena character and it is just plain foolish beyond a Vegas xxx act about masterbation that gets old fast and just spirals off a cliff. Anyone else besides Farrelly would not get this bag of crap made ever.

John Cena is the only highlight of the film and poor Zac does his best but the rest of the cast roles are pitiful and beyond reproach that are childish simplistic roles

To add more insult to injury they make one of the 3 friends a black character that is gay and a stoner without a job. That pretty much sums up the film.

There are way too many sophomoric jokes like an CEO doing air blowjobs that are beyond stupid but maybe it will become a high school stoner classic or huge razzie.

3 stars for John Cena and Zac.

This is a fantastic true story that I was excited to see another film from Sound of Freedom director Alejandro Monteverde. The cinematography is truly epic almost looking like a Rembrandt painting with so many fantastic shots it was breathtaking and the acting superb with incredible set designs and costumes.

The story of Cabrini is unfortunately built up too slowly in the 1st act with pointless scenes that drag the pacing of the story almost completely focused on her business/ politics that it feels almost one dimensional -focused on New York only versus the impressive Cabrini Empire of Hope and Church, Hospitals and Universities across the entire world and her Miracles and famous catechism are barely covered in this miopic film.

It's still an impressive feat that most will enjoy yet it could have been a masterpiece considering what Saint Cabrini accomplished in her lifetime instead of reading highlights in the footnotes at the end of the film.

Make sure to stay for the Biocelli sing at the end

A solid 7 stars but could have been a 10 Looking forward to this directors next film.

I'm a big fan of Brown and loved her in Stranger and Enola so was excited to see what this new fantasy role film would be like even if on terrible Crappy Netflixs.

The story starts with Brown chopping wood so I guess we're led to believe she is a tough girl yet might have helped to show her sword skills but I digress.

It's a fine entertaining story until she meets the Dragon and it turns into Die Hard and gets almost laughable that it gets beyond this point.

The rest of the movie is the usual unoriginal bad ass girl that cuts her hair to be a tom boy bad ass and make rope to save the day - and the cringe worthy part is she not only slays the dragon with stupid idea that dragon flames can hurt a dragon. Huh? I thought dragon skin is immune to its own flames otherwise it would be dead every time it shoots flames. But let's not pretend this story makes sense as it's fantasy it the next best razzie part - is that Brown saves the dragon Animal lovers will get teary eyed esp since let's not forget - the Dragon just killed her father but she has a forgiving heart and bigger plans.

And the final scene is hilarious as now Brown has a Mascot pet dragon to take home after seeking revenge on evil family.

What a lovely message to send out in the world esp to little girls. CInderella move over for Die Hard bad ass revenge Princess. No Prince charming waiting afterwards but she has a lovely Pet to keep her company. :-)

This is probably one of the most disappointing films Brown has done and it had so much potential yet falls short of her other projects.

5 stars for the sets, dragon and Brown acting Hope next project has better script and more acting range.

I'm a big fan of Peter Dinklage and Rebecca Miller has a fantastic actress eye and pen for drama that's good fun.

This story has 2 very different plots that sort of come together in a clunky awkward manner that some might find strange but it works. The acting is superb by all cast and its premise gets so absurd that it's al list like a NY play that full of surprises.

The only absurd character is Anne Hathaway yet she pulls it off yet there is zero chemistry between them so Marisa Tomei is fantastic with Peter and that story could easily have been the main plot and been a masterpiece.

6 stars and looking forward to more from Rebecca Miller.

I truly enjoyed Sexy Beast and other films from this highly acclaimed director yet this film was a big disappointment to say the least.

The dp work, sound and attention to detail is meticulously crafted and one quickly in the 1st act gets the general gist of the story and angle of subtle detail's of the life of Commander of Auswitz.

However after the 1st act there is very little more that merits this over indulgent banality of complete overindulgence of providing repetitive storyline without any sort of story beyond the obvious mundane manner of living a rather ordinary life of a german SS family - that lives and runs a death camp - that one never sees yet sort of hears in the background.

The audience gets the message but hammering it in the same manner with minor extra details ends up being like a Stoner focused in an OCD manner in a zone of disinterest for the viewers. This is definitely not any high film quality like in Striped Pajamas or Shindler List unless you are on drugs or Prozac.

The cinematography and settings unfortunately do not carry the rest of the film to make it worth the excruciating long film that feels like a short 20 min pitch idea that somehow got stretched to an ungodly lengthy 2 hour feature film.

It was painful to sit through not because of the subject matter but because it's a dull boring story that does not deserve a full length feature film.

Half the audience left the theatre scratching their heads as to why this film is listed for any Oscar nominations. Remove the Nazi elements and this is a dull boring story that's not entertaining at all. Plus the modern finale imitating Schindler list is too little too late to add any more impact to the boring indulgence.

And why did the Mother leave ?? Never really explained except maybe she was repulsed or did not like the central heating system or thought also that this story is rubbish.

So What's next for Glazer next film is maybe to make a film about Stalins mundane family life while 40 million Ukrainians get starved to death. The act of atrocious deaths versus the mundane family life is always a bizarre tragedy yet does not always merit a 2 hour movie. This one definitely does not merit any accolades.

4 stars for the DP, Sound, and wonderful gardens.

This film had lots of potential but unfortunately it looks more like tacky Bollywood revenge film with similar cheap theatrics and the musical score is terrible.

The actors did their best with this stupid script and the 3rd act is by far the worst. A 150 meter knife death thriw is hilarious even John Woo wouldn't try such a feat.

No spoilers but if your girlfriend eyes are removed and she is at a hospital and you have a huge gut wound maybe checking yourself in also would be one option by the writers instead of a western like ending of walking to the prison half dead.

Moral of the story - don't trust silly card readers or your greedy selfish brother and live happily ever after.

4 stars for the Costa del Sol locations and action scenes.

This was a nice surprise of a great story with solid directing and a great cast. The dp work is amazing yet it's not a casual premise for the light hearted esp any Vegans.

It is phenomenal to see Nick Cage back in great films especially after another gem like Pig and now this western script that merits his talent as he carries the film as its star with a superb supporting cast.

The Montana landscape is epic in its splendid beauty and the true sadness and brutality of mankind's hunt for bison in 1800s is one of disgrace yet another tragic tale that has to be seen to fully comprehend the mania of some hunters.

Kudos to the director and loved the music score also.

Looking forward to more Cage films

A solid 7 stars.

This romcom sounded like it would be interesting as I do like both of the actors and the setting in a small town seemed enchanting for a good romcom but I've not read the book.

However, the chemistry between the two leads is terrible and Al ost non existent so it's hard to imagine that they would have any interest in each other so the romance part just doesn't work which is just bad casting on the Directors or Producers part.

The acting is fine by both leads and it has nothing to do with anything but lack of chemistry. As on one hand you have a very pretty petite Asian girl that looks like she's 15 years old in a bathing suit, and a lifeguard that looks like he's twice her age and twice her height - Which is bad casting so maybe they could've cast it differently with either a younger main male lead or a slightly more mature older female lead but regardless these two had zero chemistry.

And the story is pretty basic with no real surprises which rarely matters in a good romcon provided the 2 leads have chemistry so the film did not work and felt like a bad Hallmark film.

5 stars.

I went into this film, thinking that it was going to be another cheesy romcom, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the two lead actors had fantastic chemistry, and the story is extremely well executed with phenomenal flow and music, and the ensemble of the support cast works in an unusual manner to complement the main plot perfectly which is rare for romcom that are super predictable.

The key part is the two lead actors. Haley Lu Richardson does a phenomenal job playing the shy, honest girl, and the British actor Ben Hardy is fantastic as the nerdy math whiz with a very odd family with British humor that works for a funny twisted love story.

The cinematography is phenomenal and the supporting cast especially the family of both sides does a great job so kudos to the Director for putting together a film that 99% of the time fails, but this one is a home run and make sure to have some tissues and enjoy a fun love story.

8 stars and I'm now a fan of this director Caswill and writer Lovejoy esp Haley Lu and Ben Hardy.

Unfortunately this script is more of a silly tv movie that has terrible casting of Dakota Johnson acting as a baby sitter to some teenagers that have no personalities because the script is beyond repair. Half of the audience was laughing at how stupid it sounded and by the 3rd act people were snoring. It's a real shame as I really like both Dakota and Sweeney but this was not a good match for anyone since the script and concept is better suited for a tv series and not a film. Plus the entire concept of having flash forward deja vu clairvoyant abilities gets old and bland quickly putting an audience into a sleeping nightmare where you want a refund.

It's like a cross of spider man/teens meets adventures in baby sitting with a female Next concept that is stuck in replay mode. How on earth did the writers get approval of this script unless it was another Covid disaster script.

2 stars for the sexy teen outfits and goofy spidermen.

I truly enjoy most of Casavettes movies even new ones like The Other woman and classics like John Q, Notebook and Alpha Dog but this film is way out there and yet worth the watch mostly for the stellar acting from Monroe and Nicolaj and the sound track has fantastic music.

However the story is all over the places and it comes across as a bit over the top almost not even realistic with a Charles Bronson element that gets a bit 2 dimensional esp the action scenes. The bad ugly tattoo guys and Jamie Foxx are wasted characters that are just eye candy which is a shame.

The main female lead Monroe is the reason to watch the film as she is a phenomenal actress and carries the film that otherwise would be a total cheesy b movie.

Nicolaj is a good actor but his journey is hard to believe esp the love story aspect and pseudo religious diatribe but kudos for getting the crap beat out of him, sliced in the stomach, a snake bite to the face and a frickin flame thrower. Maybe Cassavettes watched Once Upon a time in Hollywood and tooany bad action films and thought a flame thrower would make the film better or a mounted M60 machine gun total Rambo style. All that was missing was Mr T with a Mohawk. That is how crazy the action gets or completely hilarious and silly.

It's not Cassavettes best work but the music song choices at least make the experience less painful.

Looking forward to Cassavettes next film as this one was not his best work. Blame it on Covid.

5 stars for the actors, music and flame thrower.

I'm a huge fan of Matthew Vaughan films from Layer Cake to Stardust and Kingsman he is a spectacular director - and love all the cast in this film - but this terrible script is wayyy too complex and unnecessary for this movie to be entertaining.

Half of the theatre was snoring by the 2nd act esp with 15 plot twists it puts one to sleep as it's so bloody pathetic.

The pros: film is beautifully shot and the acting is top notch but it just does Not work as good solid entertainment because the endless plot twists occupy the majority of the film and there is no action along the way or romance or thriller to keep it interesting.

Imagine a 007 film where 75% of the movie is setting up diff plots and the leads have 10% action and you start to not care anymore and .... Fall asleep.

And the casting is 5% henry cavill and 95% mostly Sam Rockwell who is a phenomenal actor but there is no chemistry between the two leads. And Bryce Howard is a great actress with a stunning face and acting chops but she has become a very large lady and looks plain silly in the 3rd act by turning her into a trained spy assassin - esp the skating and heart shape shooting scenes are so over the top it had half the theatre laughing because it was so bad you feel horrible for Matthew Vaughan for not seeing that his characters and sequence shots are no longer believable and a joke caricature of real scenes - and it gets so pathetic that it's hard to sit through the painful diatribe of a story. Sometimes less is more is the advise to this great writer that put ones to sleep.

This film obviously is a major flop esp with a 200m budget and a bloated 2.5 hour run time that easily could have been edited down to 90 mins - maybe the cat is the best part of the film. Unfortunately I have to agree for once with the critics that this film is terrible.

3 stars for the locations and cat.

This was a nice surprise of a black mirror sci fi film that Freeman has a small role in that is enjoyable but the actor that is magnetic is the love interest girl Lovie Simone. She had great chemistry with the affable lead Josh and for a low budget b film it is solid entertainment and it makes for a fun Sunday flick

The concept of 57 sec is a bit bizarre and never really explained or explored but it's wonderful to finally see a character use it for gambling as that seems the most obvious to make quick cash like Nick Cage film Next which is a more enjoyable film.

A solid 6 even with odd 57 sec Time Machine.

This film is a bad copy of Menudo Spy Beetle Kids comedy with a Terrible script, cast and acting.

This film works only as a bad comedy rip off of spy kids meets cheesy iron latino man with so many stereotypical cliches of Latinos it's pathetic.

How was this green lit for $110m with a no name PR director and a writer with Miss Bala as only credit. Maybe DC can blame it on Covid.

This story has no universal appeal whatsoever- and is a copy cat low brow ripoff of iron man/spiderman/ viper with nothing unique or original. It's not even appealing to kids.

Xolo has a good screen presence but is too young and inexperienced to lead this huge DC film. Bruna is a nice love interest but there was no chemistry and yet her role was a waste as useless female side kick with no backstory.

Unfortunately it all comes down to a solid screenplay and an original story which this film is neither so the terrible casting just added more drama to this failure of yet another DC film.

DC is a global brand that requires a universal story. The audience has matured and this is a sad excuse of a film that should have never been green lit. End of story.

3 stars for the Blue Beetle suit and George Lopez comedy.

I'm a big fan of Michael Mann and was really looking forward to this new film and to see what brilliant elements this superb director would create in this unique film about Enzo Ferrari.

The film looks and sounds like a Mann film but unfortunately the actors were mostly the wrong cast for this dry story of script.

Adam Driver has no depth in this film and looks like he is on Prozac and one wonders why the main role of Enzo was it given to an Italian actor or Pedro Pascal or maybe even a real Italian with depth.

The biggest disappointment was Shailene Woodley was by far the worst choice as she brought nothing to the role and her American accent made you cringe plus there is no way you believe Enzo would leave super sexy Penelope Cruz for this supposed bland mistress.

Mann could have hired Monica Bellucci or Claudia Gerini as the wife and Penelope as the mistress and it would have been a great cast but this was a disaster of both Adam and Shailene were too dry and bland versus the Penelope tantrum emotional true European lady star of the film that made one feel like just maybe it was a film about Italians.

Regardless the script is so blade and dull it plays like a silly soap opera except for some of the incredible car racing scenes and the car crash accident but otherwise it was a fairly average film esp with a 96m budget.

It's unfortunate as it's rare to see a Mann film and leave the theatre thinking that he has lost his golden touch or just picked the wrong script and cast. The film is decent but not anything special.

5 stars for Penelope Cruz and car scenes.

I am a big fan of Dennis Quaid especially The Rookie so this film looked interesting and was a beautiful surprise.

It's more of a dreamer/ inspirational film of a father/son relationship that has some baseball heroics along the way and it's old school faith based ideologies might be a bit too heavy for some but the acting and directing esp the music makes the film a winner. The kids do a fantastic job which is rare so kudos to the casting and loved Dennis and nice surprise to see The Right Stuff Glenn show up at the end for the highlight of the film.

The pacing of the film was a bit slow in the first part and the preaching father part got a bit repetitive but it's minor issues since it's wonderful to see a wholesome dreamer movie that we all need esp these days.

A solid 8 stars.

I am a huge fan of Bradley Cooper and loved the film "A star is Born" which was really a pivotal movie in both acting and directing plus the singing was so passionate it gave one chills and deep emotions as a masterpiece love romance.

I was looking forward to watching Maestro and I absolutely loved the directing, cinematography and acting, plus Bradley has mastered sound design- and I especially loved the juxtaposition between the black and white first half of a Pseudo, sober years and semi heterosexual years for lack of better representation , and then switching over to the colorful color 2nd half phase of party mode/promiscuous Lenny mode, which did show a fantastic separation of his two different evolving levels of existence inside the marriage and family life.

However, I'm not really sure why Bradley made this movie as it's very personal introspective film and as moving as the story is about a man's marriage, especially as a closet queen gay man free yet trapped inside a complex marriage - it seemed rather odd that we get little sense of what created any kind of connection to the man's passion for music; and it's definitely not a typical biopic like Rocketman or Bohemian Rhapsody or Star is Born that drove you towards the passion that makes those artists delve into their music. If anything it's quite the total opposite of "A weird marriage is Born" that makes you feel sad of the inner turmoil of Lenny pretending to be someone else yet truly conflicted in his true love of his wife versus his true sexuality and how to make the two flow together and that story feels very unappealing and trite in 2023.

I did not really feel inspired by it, or deeply moved by it, and it felt kind of blase for the most part except the acting is superb yet the story is not inspiring enough to merit such a lengthy movie.

Maybe other people might enjoy it, but I think the majority of people that want to see it is for his musical talent will be disappointed as that's not the main story. .

There's a couple minor parts where he plays conductor which has some passion but it's 5% of the movie. The rest is just this very complex demented marriage that seems rather trite in today's day and age yet maybe for the people in the 1950s it would be sensational but after 1 hour I was hoping it would pivot to a new 3rd act of showing his passion for his music and how it related to his sexuality but instead it quickly stays the course and ends in the cancer phase which is moving yet feels like a sad way to end the film esp showing his hitting on young students create a rather pathetic old queen - which maybe is the whole irony of the film.

Kudos to Bradley for a phenomenal job directing it and making it look superb, and the acting is fantastic but as one person said, I would've preferred to see "more Bernstein and less of Lenny" as I just didn't really care about him as a character / individual and it did not make me feel like he was that grandiose of a person to merit a movie of this level maybe more time could've been spent showing what actually made him so unique or his music so passionate that people wanted his attention all the time instead it was like watching a star musician but you never see what makes them a star on stage and instead you see what a messed up individual he is that had a very complex inner struggle in his marriage and family life to the point of exhausting the whole story on his turmoil or denial - but told in such a masterful manner that it's a shame that it missed its mark for me personally.

Six stars and looking forward to Bradley's next film as he's definitely developing as a filmmaker so really looking forward to seeing what is the next story he's going to create/direct.

It's rare to see a director take a film story and direction into multiple layers of a characters inner search via a travel log of India centered mostly in Goa. It brings forth a beautiful unique grasp of the lifestyle of a travelers daily life living in Goa and its beautiful culture and people.

It is shot as an indi film that many viewers might not be enticed to watch unless they like a slow paced film or have been to Goa and are enamored by India/ Goa as the visuals and sites are stunning but might not appeal to everyone as it spends more time drifting around sites to set the tone of a travel log life rather than digging deeper into character development and inner journey of the main character.

Yet the subtle manner in which this director handles the subject matter and main character journey is delicate and soft including the love romance which has a lovely message that is rarely seen in most films.

The only criticism is that the dialogue could have been more developed to share more character insight but it works more as a India travel log / love story with the viewer captivated by this lost soul war reporter personal journey and his troubled upbringing and search for meaning in his life - which is very touching.

6 stars for the acting, dp and stunning shots of India esp Sweet Lake Arambol and Agonda and Hampi.

Looking forward to more films from this filmmaker and inspired to watch more of her other films.

I was really excited about seeing this movie especially with the actors involved and of course Mr. Robot is a fantastic series so the Director obviously knows what he's doing

This is not the type of movie that most people are going to enjoy because it's a social commentary about what makes people tick and what separates us especially during a calamity or Armageddon situation. It's not about the attackers so beware that is not the focus of this story.

The writer Director leaves tons of plot holes just to make the viewer question what is really going on yet that's not the real focus of the film as it's mostly about the characters and what brings them together or separates them - much like what's going on in contemporary society. It's a unique point of view and perspective but falls short of being clever.

However, after a while, this is so obvious that One wonders if there's any more depth to the story, and it feels more like a TV pilot that could've gone so much deeper, but instead ends with this silly notion of the child, watching the friends series last episode in the bunker and you realize - it's all About the illusion of being there for each other or not being there.

For most viewers this movie is going to be super annoying because not much is explained and so many bizarre things happen without any explanation except that they wanna make you think rather try to explain anything because it doesn't really even make sense to the writer director either. It's just a farce that allows one to self examine us humans.

Maybe that's the whole point is to put the viewer in a place where imagine if the entire grid went out and some foreign entity decides to invade, but they leave it open so broad with shots of even the moon with the flag as if maybe, it's even aliens that's how far-fetched it gets But also quite pathetic if that's the only message that keeps on getting repeated over and over and over

The acting is superb. The CGI is pretty darn good, but it could've been so much better so it's only a 5 stars for cheating the audience with so many loop holes.

Like why are the deer and flamingos freaked out?

What was the noise ?

Why did the son lose his teeth and how did the antibiotics fix them Who was really attacking them or does it really matter if people eventually turn against one another and self implode.

The ending theme of friends "I'll be there for you" is maybe cute for some to digest as a brilliant parody yet it comes across as shallow and a dull manner to end this social thriller.

5 stars for the actors and cgi.

I'm a big Fincher and Fassbender fan so I expected a highly evolved and ocd detailed plot and film like his past masterpieces.

The story is a simple revenge plot that might have been very cool and interesting like a Jason Bourne/John Wick or cool 60s film but instead it turns into this bizarre story about a killer that goes against everything that he supposedly claims is his modus operandi - no empathy and stick to the plan. And then the film goes off it's rails to defy everything he espouses to the point of meticulous boredom and idiotic logic at a snails pace with little thought to it making any sense or entertaining it's audience unless you want to learn all the tricks on how to prepare for a killer job and then mess it up. The film however looks fantastic and is a complete waste of talent of Fassbender, Tilda and other actors.

Obviously the writer missed the main point or perhaps some might find this story interesting in its intricate dull boring endless forms of showing us how supposedly clever this killer was in the past - but now he is a complete fool and messed up in this film and one wonders why he just does not disappear with all his money and passports instead of having compete empathy towards revenge. After all he did messed up the job so the rest is just silly logic and it's a dull story with no deeper meaning or pay off.

Sure some might find some way of twisting it into something deeper but it's quite difficult to feel any connection to this main character and no arc or moment of clarity as to why Fincher is making this film.

Fincher is a master filmmaker so this is a big surprise that the script is so off of its mark and so meticulous boring.

The plot is so pathetic that at one point he orders a fab copy machine from Amazon and pretends like this is super cool and enters the last victims high security penthouse suite like it's that easy. And to make matters worse he does not kill the client because he has a logical explanation - which pretty much defies the characters entire existence- no empathy stick to the plan. But truth is the main client is the finale that nails the plot - and it's so pathetic you cringe that it's true - because the Killer messed up the job so the client paid extra insurance to clean it up. And the killer accepts this answer and moves on with his life. Yes that is how idiotic this film is at its core and it takes 2 hours to reach this silly conclusion.

Maybe there is a Killer 2 - the sequel is next - "How to do your job correctly Master Class in Killing 101." Make sure to kill the target. Duh!! Ha ha

Truth be told this is probably the worst story Fincher has directed but it's superb to watch Fassbender be the cold distant Prometheus character and there is no denying Fincher is a master film maker even if he is super OCD and does endless takes but this story is just plain stupid, silly and dull and no idea why he made it.

I only wish the main character died in the end for showing empathy on the main client. That would have made for a brilliant ending to this pathetic story. Let's just say this is no Jason Bourne or John Wick so be warned this is a silly character study film that is brilliantly shot plus cool Smith songs if you're into their music.

Kudos to Fassbender for his continuous brilliant cold meticulous acting and voice and looking forward to Fincher next film - as Mank was Oscar worthy.

5 star that could have been a 9 if the writing was decent.
