Just finished watching it on HBO Max... Decent.... Left me questioning a few things though....

Anyone else seen it yet?

I've seen it. Thought it was a pretty average and unremarkable crime thriller at first -- but then we got the series of surprise twists at the end, and they improved the movie considerably.

Yeah the ending wasn't that spectacular but I think that was the "point" of the movie... "The Little Things"

Just watched it last night with the wife. Thought it was pretty meh going into the ending. Then just thought it’s “Seven” with a shovel.

Rather unoriginal IMO

OH FINE... FINE, someone finally named a movie referencing my penis... THIS IS BULLSHIT BTW...

Wife and I watched 2/3 of this and couldn't take it anymore.
Too many stretches of just nothing going on and zero suspense building.

Bad casting, bad acting, silly plot.

Bad casting, bad acting, silly plot.

My wife summed it up as :

Denzel picking up a paycheck for acting moody all the time.
Remi sucking in his cheekbones.
And Jared trying to steal every scene he was in with just a blank stare.

Might have worked out better casting Leto as the cop and Malek as the serial killer.

I didn’t think it was too bad. Reminded me a bit of se7en, but that’s not a spoiler by any stretch.

Really bad acting for sure. I’d give it a 4/10. I am not a fan of those endings, and truly don’t get the Se7en comparison.

Didn't see this one when I posted in the Last Movie thread. But yeah, it sucked. It just goes to show that it doesn't matter how good the actors are if the material sucks. I thought Denzel was decent but he's been there/done that before.
