Tony Bourdain was an interesting character. Bourdain committed suicide. Roadrunner was shaping up to be a mildly interesting film about Bourdain. Then it committed cinematic suicide. I'm not talking about the initially unacknowledged deep fake audio snippets, I'm talking about the last 30 minutes of the film where Direct Neville treats us to a non-stop pity party with painfully pathetic footage of Bourdain's family, friends, and colleagues weepy recounting their pain at his passing. Neville's pandering to this sad pathos is evidence that he really has nothing new to contribute to this story. Bourdain's suicide is the least interesting thing about him.
