This movie was bad. The poster is damn near false advertisement but the title is super accurate to what the film is. I thought there would be significantly more Pattinson in this honestly and even the cast list made him seem more important. The only reason this is better than the haunted airman is because it’s not nearly as boring.
The one redeeming factor I found from watching was getting to see Pattinson act super awkward in scenes where he wasn’t there for any tangible reason. I couldn’t help but focus on him anytime he was in a shot. His body language was always hilarious.
One step further into completing the Robert Pattinson filmography. I think I’ve gotten the worst out of the way now so I can rest easy.

Day 3 of trying to watch every Robert Pattinson movie
Review below:
Without this movie there is no Mickey 17. Without this movie there is no The Batman. Without this movie there is no Fear & Shame. Without this film… there is simply no point to life.

why is robert featured so prominently on the poster?
also i swear we never see both of his eyes in themovie, so why’d they chicken out here?
