Terrible, boring Talented Mr Ripley rip-off, without the talented writing or acting. Why are all these "edgy, dark" movies lately so praised? They seem like they've been written by a psychopathic 15 year old girl. The movie tries to be dark, but it looks and feels like a lonely, unhinged teen wrote it on poppers in the back of a bad disco. It's trying to be different and surprising, but it's just boring and pathetic. I miss the days when I left a film feeling something other than... eeew, why, terrible people, no protagonists, why was this made, who was this made for, why are people raving about this? I avoided spoilers and now... I wish I could get those two+ hours of my life back.

Almost every aspect of this movie was really, really bad. I don't know why it's so hard for modern day film makers to make a good movie these days. Remember the classics of the 90's? Do these writers/directors/studios think everyone is slow now? Is it the fault of the studios for only financing really unoriginal, bad ideas? Probably. This movie was boring, the writing was just awful, and the acting was terrible (a few of these actors have been good in other projects). I hate to single anyone out, but the female lead was as stiff and wooden as a tree stump. I don't just blame her though, again the writing and direction must have had a lot to do with it. She might be brilliant in anything else. The fact that this movie had a budget of millions and millions of dollars.... and ended up being this terrible.. I blame all the higher up's. From the top down.
