Hedy Lamarr might actually be in my top 5 favorite humans list because she invented Wi-Fi and acted in movies. Anyways, this movie was incredibly lackluster plot and pacing wise, but it makes up for it with the fun dialogue and charismatic acting from Hedy Lamarr, who is fucking amazing I'll say it twice.
