Dreadfully Boring
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
