This movie is chaos in the worst way. It feels like it desperately wants to be Baby Driver but with its own “cool” twists, and instead it just crashes and burns. The story is everywhere, the tone never settles, and by the halfway point I was more confused than entertained.
The characters only make it worse. Normally, I’ll watch anything with Samara Weaving because she’s great, but you can tell even she wasn’t feeling this one. Her performance comes off flat, like she knew the script was garbage and just phoned it in. Her character was confusing and inconsistent from start to finish, and every scene with John made it worse. He’s easily one of the most cringe, annoying characters I’ve seen in a while. The two of them together? Painful.
The two scenes that really made me want to turn this movie off completely. First, when Samara’s character says she “knows someone” who can drive, only for it to be her disabled father she’s trying to recruit as a getaway driver. That was beyond ridiculous and completely pulled me out of the movie. Then there’s the introduction of Marshawn Lynch’s character, which felt so random and unnecessary that it made the story (and the whole movie) even dumber. I honestly don’t know what they were thinking when they made this—it was absolutely terrible.
