Vapid drivel that puts film-making back 50 years
5 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this film through from beginning to end because, like a bad relationship, I was waiting to see if it could get better. The actors are pretty and the performances are solid but there is literally no reason this should have been made. Why should we care about these two vapid, greedy climbers? In what smartphone centric world does a psychotic boss like that exist without repercussions? Who gives a toss about the 1% fudging a deal and then making it back by reading reddit in the next 10 minutes? What even is the point? Men suck, women can do it better, jealousy is a b*tch, get your stock tips from the interwebs. I was bored and yet like a car crash could not look away. The repetitive use of blood and the constant, overlong cuts of people 'thinking' were so amateurish as to beg the question - how did this little film school project pull in such big names? There's no stakes, no tension, no surprises and no point.
