A Simple Favour
Finally got back to the cinema (i was meant to see Predator last month but it hasn't been a good time mentally so i struggled to get out much) and went to see A Simple Favour...i kinda wish i'd gone to see Predator.
It's not a bad film, but it was really weird in terms of what it wanted to be. It was billed as a dark thriller comedy...and it didn't do any of those things well. The laughs dried up by the 20 minutes mark, the thriller aspect wasn't very...thrilling for lack of a better word and the dark parts were just...felt like the film was trying too hard.
The film had so many plot holes as well, to the point i kept asking myself "why is that happening?!" every 10-15 mins, but the worst thing was...i was bored. The films nearly 2 hours long and it doesn't really do anything, i came out thinking "well there's 2 hours i could have spent better". I dunno maybe i just wasn't the target audience...
If you like Anna Kendrick you'll probably get something out of this (although nothing from her back story, it's just gross and i cringed every time it was brought up) but otherwise just wait for it on a streaming service. Not as dull as Red Sparrow...but close.
