What a drag! I just wasted 2 hours and 18 minutes of my life...
This movie was boring. The pacing was way off. The first 45 minutes was way too slow. And then there scenes towards the end that felt rushed because of the lack of build up. The narration was unnecessary. I don't need a voiceover tellling me what I just saw happened a few seconds ago in a scene. The aesthetic also felt too glossy and sanitized. I didn't care about any of the characters. A big problem here is that none of the side characters get much of a spotlight and thus have no development. It's hard to care about them. The acting was solid, but nothing too memorable. I know people are hyping up Tom Holland's performance, but I thought he was okay at best. He's too soft faced and clean cut to play such a intimidating violent character. The oscar campaigning from his fans is ridiculous. There was nothing oscar worthy about his performance. The potential is there, but we might see it for his next role where he portrays a drug addict in the film Cherry. Anyway, I have no desire to watch this again. The whole movie felt pointless. Really disappointed after all the hype.
