I didn't know about the movie till I saw the copy-paste review bombing stuff.

The cast looks excellent. Since I can't use the reviews, have you seen it and did you enjoy it?

edit: I enjoyed it, it was worth a watch

I felt like they really lost their way half way through, I was actually interested in the plot and characters up until then. I can't recommend this movie to anyone as a 2+ hour investment.

Agree, if it had been shorter the pacing on the second half would have felt better. It’s fine if you go slow when establishing the premise, but it hardly feels like there was any payoff due to the slowness.

Spoilers: at one point when they were talking in the car on another persons property, the scene went for so long I just wanted the character (which was on the background looking awkward the entire time) to make good on his earlier promise and put the scene out of misery.
