Great Concept, Great Actors, Poor Execution
Like what most people have commented, the ending of this movie is extremely disappointing. It felt like this movie was filmed during the pandemic with a low budget casted with A listers or like a short film that was dragged out longer than it needed with creepy music like you would find in an M. Night Shymalan or Jordan Peele directed movie. Iexpected more from Sam Esmail. The concept and acting was on point, but no pay off?! There were a thousand directions you could've taken the movie and you chose that? This movie had so much potential to expand upon the source material. I felt like if it was developed into a web series by like Jonathan Nolan or even J. J. Abrams, they could've really fleshed out things and had a bigger budget to do some interesting world building. Really liked the focus on the families from their point of view, but expected more. Felt like a waste of time and so glad I didn't spend money in the theater to watch this. Would've been pissed!
