Like the Siren of Greek myth, I was immediately drawn into this film by the beauty of Ana de Armas.
What's that old expression, "the face that launched a 1000 ships", well this actress has it in looks as well as acting chops.
The film moves slowly forward drifting between two stories which eventually come to a climatic ending. I would have stopped watching early on because the storyline did not seem to have a purpose but Ana kept drawing me back in.
Having read the history of the making of this film involving the fight between Lionsgate and the director as to what this film should be about, it is understandable that the film meanders and is at time slow but strong acting in the end wins out.
Keanu Reeves's performance as the tortured detective whose partner is murdered is well played.
Ana de Armas is undoubtedly a rising star whose portrayal of a woman living a fantasy is extremely convincing.
All other characters get kudos from this reviewer.
5.5/10 stars.

This film brought back memories of the short time I spent in film school when also I had thoughts of my crew and I making it. Of course real life intervened. I was thoroughly entertained and transported back to my twenties. Thanks.
