This picture had me intrigued when I saw a clip, but then I made the mistake of watching the entire thing.

First of all, it's too long and there were too many unnecessary scenes that did nothing to enhance the plot.

I wish the storyline would've concentrated more on Terrence Stamp's character v. McKenzie's silly high schoolish fashion designer friends. I kept waiting for the Alicia Silverstone cameo.

The obvious "check the box" diversity "relationship" was not only off-putting, it bordered on icky.

Anya Taylor-Joy is a budding superstar...no doubt about it, and she's the only reason to keep watching this film.

Decent "twist" at the end which could've been prepped better. Several missed opportunities.

Grade: C.

This movie was okay, not really good or bad. Just okay. Grade: C.

I'm not one to give 10s to motion pictures (especially nowadays) but this film was absolutely outstanding. Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen were dynamos from beginning to end, as was the storyline, cinematography, cast, direction, and originality. It's been a long time since I've done any review without being able to poke holes or find fault in a movie, so believe me when I say you'll love every minute of this one. In fact, I was hoping it could've gone another hour...or longer. Grade: A+
