Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
