Watched this evening, definitely recommend. Went in blind and I can see why it is well reviewed. It felt very Tarantino / Pulp Fiction due to how it is presented multiple non-chronological parts. Kept me intrigued the whole time, probably a bit much to say 'edge of my seat'.

This was good.

Minor nipticks:

What was his plan regarding the ankle gun if they'd actually starting banging? When contacting Pete, maybe lead with "I've got the Electric Lady" even if your goal is to keep certain events under wraps by reaching out to a trusted partner, instead of some ambiguous "I made a mistake" vague nonsense. If you get sprayed with mace/bear spray/whatever, why would you run towards the source, especially knowing it's handcuffed and immobile?

I think the plot isn't going to be a surprise to anyone but I'll still not talk about it.

This is a solid movie. 8/10 ish

Willa Fitzgerald kills it. I hope she keeps picking good projects, it's nice to see someone that can actually act... do that.

Her having her bra on during the sex scenes creeped me out. I know she's super flat chested, but having the bra on just accentuated her lack of a womanly figure, so to speak. Ick .. anyhow. I did like how her having a frail figure wasn't misused. She didn't overpower anyone etc. The red head cop was perfect. That actually made me laugh. The super long death scene was boring.

To reiterate what others have said, I loved this move.

I think Willa Fitzgerald has a gorgeous face. Too bad I have a curvier figure than she does. Put her face on Sydney Sweeney's body and she'd be a fucking 10.

I read somewhere that the studio tried to get the director to re cut it and make it linear. That would've destroyed what makes this movie fantastic

Jesus, you're absolutely right if that's true.

go in 100% blind if you wanna watch this, don't even watch the trailer. i watched a review and knew the spoilers and it kinda ruins the movie if you really know anything about it. still good, but not as amazing as if you go in completely blind
