Movie Reviews
It’s a thriller at times, but also a wickedly funny dark comedy. And it features a nostalgia-inducing yacht rock soundtrack that slyly comments on the action (…) An unclassifiable good time.
Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
All the ingredients are there for a daring satire, but the icky execution gets every creative decision wrong.
