This had a really interesting storyline and Val Kilmer was good...as always. Even the unknown supporting actors were good. Then there were the huge plot holes you could fly a 747 through and the dumb choices that were made with this script. You could have literally saved this movie by adding little things that maybe would have added 5 minutes to the whole movie and yet would have made it 1000 times more successful. Let's start with the relationship between the girl cop and the other guy, totally unnecessary and adds nothing to the story. Also with her character, if she's "one of the guys" enough to torture the drifter then she shouldn't be relegated to screaming and freaking out during key moments. Second, why does the desk guy pull a gun on Val like 3 seconds after he walked in? Seemed weird and unnecessary. Also, show the desk guy writing down that Val came in. It's a 3 second shot that would make something later on actually make sense. Next, don't have the state cops come in saying they are working an accident on the freeway and then show them in the woods in the middle of nowhere later, that's just lazy, if you want them in the woods then put them in the woods initially. Now comes my biggest issue and it seems like maybe this was a money issue like the production used all their money on Val and couldn't afford props? Why the hell are there NO radios in a police station?!?! They can't call anyone because the phones don't work but they don't even try a radio. Find one prop radio and be like "oh this is down too" THEN you can send the cops out to find the state cops. Then they get into the car to find the state cops...but still don't try the radio?! What?! Then she gets back to the station with the car and hits other cars...but they try and push that car out to get it going? Do they only have one cop car? Did nobody else drive to work? Again makes the movie not make sense and cheap. Also, why is the interrogation room in a bathroom? Then my last issue, they should have killed the last cop, let the nobody disappear and kept him innocent. The ending is just dumb. How do you kill a ghost? Come on. Anyway, could have been good...but it just wasn't.

Do you like movies without endings? Because this is a movie without an ending. There are multiple stories that interconnect, supposedly, but you won't get an ending on any of them? Who's Timmy Johnson (or whatever the guy's name was that the killer asked about)? No clue. Why does Stevie owe money all over town? MAYBE because of his dad...but again...not sure. Who the hell is Stellie and why do we care? No answer there. Why did the guy have his hand cut? Who knows? Why is the killer so bad at his job? Who hired him? Why is none of this on the news? All questions you won't get answers to. It's too bad because the movie had me sucked in just to let me down.

This is an interesting show (I don't know the comic). The acting is pretty good some of the sets are very cool. I liked the story for the most part. However it's a little all over the place which makes the episode transitions jarring. It's like cool story for a couple episodes...then random story line....then another cool story...then cats. I also am not a fan of the new Netflix trend of making half the characters gay. Not because they are gay but because they are soooo stereotypical with no depth. Also this show made it seem like if you are gay you'll just jump from sack to sack. I kept watching even though I wasn't really sure if I liked it only to see a couple story lines just fizzle, like the whole thing with desire and despair, or the part with Lucifer. I feel like they could have cut out a couple random episodes (I'm looking at you serial killer conference or muse episode) to explore those stories more.

I thought this might be a fresh take on the coming of age story with a nice 90's hip hop soundtrack but it totally failed. The characters are flat and you never get enough depth to find out what any of their motivations are. The fact that this kid basically con's his way into Harvard (maybe? You never quite get an answer to that) doesn't seem to fit his character. The 90's hip hop angle is cool, until you figure out it's just something said in the first 5 minutes but is never developed. And these kids are obsessed with 90's hip hop but start a mid 2010's punk band...what? And did anyone else think it was creepy AF that two women over 21 are trying to get with a 17 year old kid? Ew. Story threads that start but get left behind...social commentary that is just thrown in randomly...friends that have no chemistry together. This movie was trying to be too many things at once, but there have been at least 6 coming of age movies that have done these concepts better. Super disappointed.

Ugh. What a boring mess. The writers took every Bond tradition and threw it out for this garbage and didn't even bother to give us anything in return. The chemistry between Bond and his girl friend is non-existent. Bond would never let someone ruin him for every other woman, that's ridiculous. They just throw in the kid because they need a plot device but there's no depth to that. Too many plot points just thrown in with no reason. The villain is honestly boring and why does he want the kid? It doesn't make sense. The fact that they drink to bond with scotch instead of whiskey is just offensive. This was just a disjointed script with some explosions.
