Audience Reviews

Kamurai 8/10 Aug 20, 2020
Great watch, will watch again, and do recommend.

There is nothing like watching a good actor pretending to lose their mind, and Ryan Reynolds is a great actor, as far as I'm concerned.

While I actually like both sides of his personality dilemma, the story is actually written in a way that you can feel bad for him, and he becomes humanized through it.

I don't think the wife character is a bad person, but she's written in a way that makes the situation understandable.

The whole movie has a thick atmosphere to it, it draws you in, and I forget I'm watching a movie for quite a bit of it.

It might seem a bit contrived, but the story is masterful in a very unique, chaotic way.
