I'd been looking forward to the film since the spring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and an interesting plot - what could be better? Today's answer is many things.
The picture turned out quite boring, too much odd action, too slow moving. And the only advantage of the film is an opportunity to see Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner because Kristen Stewart's eyes are empty despite her good acting.
Advantages
- Jesse Eisenberg as Mike Howell
- Kristen Stewart as Phoebe Larson
- Connie Britton as Victoria Lasseter
- The idea
- Music
Disadvantages
- Quite boring
"Strangenesses"
- The film could be wonderful as it had an exciting idea - but something went wrong
Clue Moments

- Drugs
- The truth about Phoebe
