Could have been so much funnier

My husband and I nearly switched off after 15 minutes and then wished we hadn't bothered watching by the time the film ended.

There were a couple of moments that made us laugh in themselves and I guess some of the characters were interesting. If gory details are your thing then you might like it, but not for me.

I found myself getting a bit annoyed with the main character and not in a good way. The key factor of his personality is shallowness and he's purely driven to satisfy his own ends, but I felt this led the character to be completely two dimensional and boring. The other characters were quite good though, it's a shame most of them don't come out so well by the end. This is described as a black comedy, but there wasn't enough comedy for me. Maybe you actually need to be part of that industry to find it funny.

The main complaint I have is that the title suggests lots of killing of people who might be considered friends. We found the killing to be rather lacking. If they had been his friends at least there would have been some emotional dilemma, which may have improved this film.

It could have been so much funnier than it was.
