Pay check? Or horrible Director
13 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This will be very brief but it's basically as per the title. Either John David Washington was offered a fat pay check to star in this and he phoned in his performance.

Or.

The director is legitimately amateur hour.

This movie at so many points contains poorly shot scenes that feel amateur. Dialogue and responses that lack urgency or feeling like a real person would behave that way etc.

The way the main character behaves despite his girlfriend being dead and being aggressively pursued is laughable. Zero sense of urgency, no sense that he's legitimately terrified etc.

It just kind of lurches from scene to scene and theee is no impact and it feels like it was shot on the wrong film or lens. Feels super amateur hour.
