I got major Dr Strangelove vibes. The preaching philosophical value/questions was not subtle, and the tongue in cheek humor was very Strangelove-like. My friends I saw it with did not enjoy it. It’s very slow and mostly an examination of the human condition, than it is a comedy or action film. Hardly anything “happens” until the end which may prove to be too high brow and boring for many.
Robert Pattinson is pretty amazing, though. To me this is a hallmark role he will forever be known to me as.
