Review of The Circle

I work at one of the big tech companies in the Bay Area and of course that movie came up at some point among coworkers, so I had to give it a try. Considering the bad reviews I knew it probably wouldn't be great but it is legitimately bad, which is surprising considering it has Tom Hanks, Emma Watson and Patton Oswalt! To be fair, they are doing the best they could with what they were given. Some say execution is bad but concept was good; I agree to some extent but even the concept was not even fully fleshed out. The motivation, growth, actions, etc. of the main characters make no sense. Add to that bad writing and directing because they blew their budget on big name actors and seemingly let film school dropouts take care of the rest, and you get this mess.
