    Foi muito interessante ver este filme 1 semana depois do 'Ainda estou aqui'. Nota-se claramente uma certa verdura em algumas falas e intervenções.

    Not bad by any means, but somewhat lazy. The action is thrilling, despite being far from my favourite thing to watch. Anya Taylor-Joy is amazing as always, and probably a good reason to still watch the movie. The premise is intriguing and well explored, but the movie just fails in having more depth. The dialogues are very basic, and the movie should show visually, instead of explaining verbally. It makes the audience feel stupid to a certain degree.
    A good pick for valentine's tho!
