Reading the premise alone it sounds awful enough to regret the time it took to write this post and click submit.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm at a point where I'm basically incapable of watching mediocre movies. I watch most everything alone these days and the cinemas are all closed so there's no external pressure for me to sit through something that doesn't feel essential. I'll often get fifteen or twenty minutes into a movie and turn it off because I can already tell that it isn't worth the time. I'll just forget it by tomorrow, anyway. The result is that I've more or less stopped taking the risk on watching something I haven't seen before. It's so easy to just watch something I know I will enjoy or get something out of, so I binge a TV show or I re-watch The Matrix or Snowpiercer or a classic that I haven't seen in a few years. I'd like to re-introduce 'movies that I haven't seen before' into my diet, but it's just not happening recently.

i do that occasionally too, but i'm usually picky about what i even attempt to watch

i miss the theater :(

i have been making a conscious effort to not re-watch movies and shows right now, but the streaming options are lacking...i suppose i need to invest in redbox again

Loved the cinematography, the production and sound design. Good cast too and a couple of cool sequences. Im not sure about the story.
Im still thinking about this one. I like it more and more with time.

Charlize was good, but most of the acting besides her was disjointed and generally bad
