I watched this over the weekend, I’d never seen it but as a Radio1 listener and a fan of some of the artists involved, I was keen to give it a go.
The film was OK, I felt like the director was desperate to kindle some non-existent chemistry between the 2 leads.
Quite liked some of the other characters – the recently-released husband, Walter White, the hitman and the man with the face, but I found it too heavy on moody suspense scenes, and as mentioned above, a bit “Try Hard With A Vengeance”… Toothpick? Really?? 🙄
I thought some of the music was stunning – having heard a lot of it last week, I was disappointed that the Biffy Bloke’s track was so truncated, but loved the Chvches, 1975 and Bastille pieces.
Overall, very enjoyable and as a fan of the reimagined film poster movement that’s gathering so much momentum in the States, I thought it was a brilliant project with some brilliant talent involved.
I’ll probably watch the original at some point soon for comparison.
