6. "What a weird little movie"

It gets points just for that.

Definitely TNT material. Rami Malek is miscast but not as bad as I thought he'd be. Jared Leto is Jared Leto but there's something endearing about his weirdo choices here vs. say Suicide Squad because it ends up working in the context of the film and what it's doing.

It doesn't always work and I could see it turning a lot of people off but it's honestly really interesting and, depending on your reading, really fucked up in a couple of different ways. It's also, kind of perfect for the times we live in.

I wouldn't have seen this in the theater regardless but I'm definitely not mad I watched at home. It's largely forgettable but memorable enough so that in 5 years I'll be like "Hey, what was that weird little detective movie that Denzel did? You know, the one with Mr. Robot and Jared Leto? Oh yeah, that's right! What a weird little movie that was!"

-------------------------------

A lot of you players ain't okay.

We would have been better off with an okaycivics board instead of an okayactivist board

I'd argue that Triple Frontier is entertaining at least.
