I was sadly servery disappointed, coming off of watching Robert Benton's directorial debut "Bad Company" I maybe set expectations too high going into this film. I didn't engage with the story nor characters, making it a dull viewing experience I see it has love on here and I'm glad but it's just wasn't my thing.
