There's nothing groundbreaking about the tale of this movie - which was already been told countless other times with different characters - and the tension, while present, doesn't really put you in the edge of your seat when you pretty much can predict how it will all end, but the end result is still entertaining nonetheless.
This movie spends most of its time tricking you into believe that it's a good movie, then you realize half-way that it's just a movie and by the end you're not even sure if you watched a movie.
It's all very safe and predictable. A poor man's Knives Out but still enjoyable nonetheless.
The plot couldn't be more overdone and cliché even if they tried, but it's a lot of fun and very heartwarming.
This is the definition of a film that is all about style over substance and dragged down by a poorly executed story.
The main story was supposed be a mystery thriller where the protagonists are forced to try and find and apprehend the dangerous thief who stole a DC Mini, but it was all over the place. It was full of clichés, plot twists that could be seen a mile away, character revelations that came out of nowhere and a romantic subplot that was so out of the blue. It felt like it was trying to do too much in a short period of time, and sadly its detective Toshimi psychotherapy subplot (which is a problem in itself; a film with a complex plot and a 1 hour and half run time does not have the time to expend on subplots) was more focused and engaging than its main storyline.
I wish i could understand the hype and praise around this movie but i felt myself just wanting it to end. I wasn't impressed by the gore, camerawork or editing like others have. The plot sure wasn't nothing to rave about and differentiate itself from just about any other slasher film.
It's a fun and entertaining movie with a lot of gore but disconnect your brain first or you might left wondering why the killer gets shot a bunch of times but not only lives, comes back from an ambulance half-way to the hospital and is still able to fight three women like nothing happened.
This would have been a lot better if they had done some more world building, showing how this enterprise came to be and explore other possibilites of that body possessing machine. The ending also felt rushed.
I lasted one hour before I wanted to blow my brains out and had to stop watching whatever the hell this movie is.
I really disliked it and found it a bit racist how they portrayed the Japanese in this movie and they did a poor job showcasing Tokyo's vibrance and color, especially when the city is like the 3rd character in the movie. A slow and boring movie for a place with such high-pace and energy like Tokyo... i don't know... it just doesn't fell right.
Eat the rich or f*ck the rich!
This movie shook me to the core. I wasn't expecting to be glued to the screen from the beginning and crying like I cried when it ended. Definitely one of the best tech-criminal investigation plot driven thriller. So many twists and turns you're going to become paranoid yourself and doubt everything and everyone.
Did I just watch a movie about a socially awkward eighth-grader or an attempt to be the movie where the word "cool" was said the most?
This movie is in the same league as 'Hell or High Water' but for some reason that movie got highly praised and this one trashed. I can't quite figure it out, maybe because the plot of this one is more straightforward and didn't pretended to be something it isn't.
The kind of movie you finish watching and you think "that's it?", "where's the ending?". It's a well-thought-out movie with a good message and lesson behind it, but it fails on execution. I'm only giving it a 8/10 because of Selena Gomez otherwise it'd be lower.
I too think this sequel is better than the first movie. At one point I almost choked with laughter. Very entertaining.
I don't know the book but Paul Rudd and Selena <3 Can't wait for June 24!
I knew who was the mole since the beginning of the movie. Anyway, it's good if you want to disconnect your brain and just watch endless fighting and shooting scenes...
The first hour was very painful to watch, but it turns interesting somewhere in the middle, and I really enjoyed the movie after that. I gave it a 8 just because of that, otherwise it would have been a resounding 7. Can we please stop with the Steve Jobs movies now? Thanks!
The killers are the less suspicious.
