Review of Fatman

Fatman (2020)
4/10
An interesting idea, but they didn't do anything with it
22 November 2020
I don't know what this movie was supposed to be. It is not a comedy, because it simply isn't funny. I can't recall a single time that i even exhaled the air through my nose a bit louder, let alone laugh during watching it. It isn't an action movie, because the action scenes are sparse and, more importantly, amateurishly done. You're more likely to laugh at the action scenes (and not in a good way) than at the "funny" lines. It isn't a thriller, because the story is undeveloped and, despite the movie having an interesting premise, the actual plot is quite bland. They missed every opportunity to make the story interesting and compelling. Throughout the movie I kept expecting it to get better, but it just never did.

This definitely is a different kind of Christmas movie, but different doesn't necessarily mean better nor even good enough. One final note - despite people who keep calling this movie Tarantino-esque, it is nothing like it, so you'll be even more disappointed if you watch it expecting some kind of Tarantino vibes.
