I don't remember to have ever shut down a movie only after 10 minutes or so, let alone doing this only because of the dialogue!!!! I mean after I have seen how the two main characters has to pretend being someone else for a meeting with another couple, and they attack each other subtle...God, how boring and awful was it!!! Stupid and childish. "Oh, you have OCD!"; "I have OCD?; "But in the end you admitted that you were wrong and I was right"; "Honey, honestly I was just tired and I wanted you to shut up and this is why I said that you were right!".

Who wrote such a grotesque dialogue? A high-schooler? And the way in they are looking at each other when they talk this trash and the camera focusing so hard on their faces, managing only to show even more how bad their acting is!

Losing my patience after 10 minutes of this horrible scene, I looked for another movie and I was checking the reviews here, maybe I missed something? Nope, the reviews are harsh, so I haven't lost anything. Some people are talking about bad CGI, horrible editing and huge plot holes. Wow, did they have patience, no kidding! Even if somehow I could have passed the stupid dialogue, I'm sure that after another 10-15 minutes, something else will have definitely piss me off! Sometimes you know that a movie is very bad only after few minutes, and boy, it seems that I was right here, and my instincts were good!

Ignore all the frustrated "know it all" reviewers and critics who still doesn't understand that in the 2020s it's almost impossible to come up with a new idea. It's a popcorn family movie and is not trying to be anything else. Some fun moments, here and there, good picture and image quality with a lot of colors, as it should be...all in all, enjoyable if you don't have big expectations and you don't want any movie to be a David Lynch or a Christopher Nolan work.

Now about Emma Myers, at this moment she is 23 years old, but I see a great future for her. She is not only stunningly beautiful, but she simply makes better any movie in which she plays. She steals every scene, with her sweet voice and the innocent look in her eyes. She also has good acting skills. If I would have been a celebrity, I would definitely have a big crush on her and I wouldn't give up until I will get a date with her. Wish her all the good luck in her career!

It starts a little good, but is going downhill soon. The guy is chasing the guys that killed his wife, but the action is slow-paced and the horrible editing is making you very confuse. For the life of me, I couldn't understand how the main character arrived from A to B or how did he find the guys that are in a scene. Worse, at some point he is approached by a woman that asks him to meet her in a certain place for more information...but in the next shot he meets the anonymous person with whom he had online conversation at the begining of the movie. What was that? Seriously!

It's clear, the cinematography is almost completely dead and we are at the half of 2025 but I haven't seen a good movie. Not a single one good made this year! Who makes these kind of movies? Who approves them? How can such an atrocious editing can happen in a movie with a big budget? Where is the respect for audience? Where is the thrill? Nothing happens throughout the movie's story other than long, boring dialogues.

Two more things in the end. First, I don't like Rami Malek (except in Bohemian Rhapsody), especially the way he speaks. And his face is always looking like is paralysed. Secondly, the movie is not exaggerating with the wife's flashbacks, and this is the only good thing that I can applaud here. All of you who are complaining that you need "more background story" are completely ridiculous: Do you really need a detailed explanation fir why someone is suffering for the lost of their spouse or their children? Get over yourself guys!
