Rex does a great job of playing his character, and though he is fascinating, he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He uses everybody around him, he's lying to everyone, he's insanely arrogant, he's grooming.... You can't route for this man. There's also no character ark, he never learns or self improves. He's arrogant and selfish. There's only so much Rex can do with a character before the audience gets to the point of questioning why the care. The script in a lot of scenes is lean leaving the cast to work it out for themselves. The key supports do a pretty good job but some of the smaller roles really take you out of the moment as you're aware your watching someone "acting". The comedy moments are all in the trailer & The drama isn't interesting after you loose interest in the characters. Shot on a shoestring budget and the production value is telling.
