This movie should've just been called "Anxiety & Frustration: The Movie". Ryan Reynolds did an outstanding job in this movie, that's the only reason I can think of as to how it received a 7/10. The story goes pretty much nowhere. The amount of stuff that you learn about Paul and everyone else in the film could've been learned within the first five minutes.
EDIT: I bumped my rating up from a 5 to a 6, cause assuming the goal of this movie was to simply give the viewer an immersive experience where they feel all the anxiety and frustration that Paul feels, they nailed it. Story wise, it's weak. If you're not looking for an in depth story, you'll be fine with this movie.
