Currently on Netflix. The movie got nearly universal positive professional reviews and scored a 79% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This movie stars Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe as investigators of the disappearance of somebody named Amelia (Margaret Qualley).

It is very hard to care about anybody in this film as they all pretty much are terrible people. It is practically a farce parade and I kept waiting for someone to care about and any reason to care. Finally after about 60 minutes, I asked my spouse if he was getting into this at all. After about five more minutes he also was in the same space: enough is enough, turn it off.

    Yeah, I watched it when it came onto Netflix. The commercials made it look really cringey, but I thought it turned out pretty well. A formulaic heist movie with a kids veneer, but it’s a formula because it works.
