God knows, somebody must have thought it was worth filming. They couldn't decide which story to focus on and it ended up as a mess swinging between mildly interesting and boring. I made coffee in the boring bits. Frazzled by the time the titles rolled. never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead

Sabotaged by script and editing, but the portrayal of the killer rang true. Way over Jonah Hill's dramatic chops. “Top 15 Forbidden Words: Dead, Shooting, Murder, Gun, Rape, Bomb, Died, Attack, Killed, Suicide, Trump, Crash, Crime, Explosion, Accident.”

Hah! You're totally right. I only saw it about 4 months ago and he's so forgetable that I had to remind myself that he was the lead! never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead

Yes, the script needed a decent editor. It takes a competent writer (and director) to blend several stories together into one. I was left wondering whether this was about a journalist and his repeat poor-decision-making, or a did-he-do-it? or something else altogether. The bits never came together. Less than the sum of its parts. never trust a man in a blue trench coat, never drive a car when you're dead
