74% on RT. You must fall within the 26% who don't like it.

Well I learned one thing. Never trust a swimming pool in a 3rd world country.

the critics pretend to like it because they think it would be good to educate the masses which are obviously less informed than themselves and such nonsense. its really a buncha patronizing bullsh*t with films that pretend to have insight when they have none.

i like to think of that movie as having a.d.d. It just kind of randomly jumps from one 2 second plot to another. i want my 8$ back

 

[dartworth]

I didn't care for it at first either...now I likes it...and can follow it

 

[JS80]

heh very well said. the high critic rating makes no sense but an endorsement to the negative american perception in hollywood.

Which in Hollywood terms means that at one point there may have been a real person with a name similar to one of the characters in the movie, who may have engaged in similar actions, like brushing their teeth or combing their hair.

I always watch movies like this with the following thought.

"It could have happened this way"

It is a plausible movie and Yes I enjoyed it the second time. Much like a clancy novel you need to take it in twice to get all of it

My mom, ex, and I watched it together. None of us could make any sense out of it, and we're no dummies. I hate the postmodern "let's create the illusion of drama and suspense by not telling you anything about anything" crap that's getting so popular these days. It's manipulative, elitist, and overinflated.
