Has that great feel of early 2000s film before the digital age, along with the full glory of anamorphic. Oh and lots of confusing plot twists too…

The screenplay starts off alright, promising a Rashomon type narrative, but it delivers a series of outrageous twists instead…

Anything Rian Johnson does is not worth your time. Skip this movie and save your money for the new Star Wars…
