I actually really enjoyed this movie! It was well written mostly and had engaging characters. At first it seemed to be billed as an action film... However there actually isn't very much action in the movie except in the opening scene and towards the end. Its more a character drama, but it's great!

The acting is well done and the idea of a John Wick style hospital for criminals is a cool one, though it does seem they coped the hit man hotel idea from John Wick as a hospital for this film.

My only issues with the film, and why I'm giving it a lesser rating than full, is all the damn sub plots that are thrown in there that don't really lend to much. It's pretty well done, but in the end it's like. What was the point? And the redemption arch for the Nice towards the end just felt so out of place for her and not earned. Perhaps if we had seen more of her history and past with Waikiki, it could have felt earned. But as it is, it just felt forced.

After seeing a preview for this film, I didn't realise what it was. But then an interview on YouTube caught my eye where James Franco and Tommy Wiseau were on a couch with Dave Franco and talking to a host. That's when I realised this movie was about the making of The Room. I decided to rent it and give it a watch and it was good! Funny, and a deep look at the interaction of friends and one crazy guy.

I've actually never seen The Room, but after watching this I do want to now. I have a new appreciation for moves so-bad-their-good. I felt James did an excellent job recreating Tommy's persona and mannerisms. I really enjoyed this film and must buy it some time.
