Tom Hanks fail.


I watched this on Netflix because Tom Hanks was starring in it.What a disappointment. This film is just an extended episode of Black Mirror. Bad ending.

Yup. And if Tom Hanks is going to play a villain, I wish some day soon he would go full psychopath violent, like Albert Brooks in Drive.

Or like robin williams in Insomnia

reply

Oh no! I loved Insomnia. Williams also ( successfully ) portrayed an icky creep in One Hour Photo.

Hanks is v good in this. The film sucks though. It was set up perfectly for a more interesting final third, but it just fizzled out to nothing.

There's no reveal of what nefarious misdeeds they were up to (if anything), and wtf is with the ending?

reply

Yeah it's almost as if the screenwriter ran out of time and just ended it. I was completely lost on how all the character arcs changed after the kayak accident. Lots of disjointed plot points.

reply

Yes, the promise of Tom Hanks' performance is deceiving. He's almost unnecessary here. But, expectations aside, I thought the movie was good.

reply

That's unfortunate.
