What a wild ride this was. The movie, even with knowing that the overall outcome, still gives you a sense of anxiety that definitely ramps up as the movie goes on.

The first 35-40 minutes of this movie, I thought I was going to hate this movie as I just didn’t feel a connection to it and the cringe was cringing hard. But after that, it flew by and really took me on a ride here.
Bill Nighy I think was a standout here. And I think his and Domhnall Gleeson’s characters relationship in this propels the movie extremely well. I think there’s a lot of fun side characters in this and the premise and rules are unique and fun as well.
