7/10
A big enjoyable dose of... nothing
25 September 2018
A guy goes to rob a house and becomes reluctantly embroiled in a young woman's suicide attempt. Finding the conscious he has been missing so far in his life he returns to help her.

There are so many reasons why I should hate this film. I actually can't understand how I enjoyed it as much as I did.

First off there is hardly any plot. This is just a pair of beautiful losers hanging out for a day, talking laughing and fighting. Yet I found it compelling viewing.

In my reviews of "Ocean's 8" and "Focus" I was very quick to wail on the main characters on account of them being scumbag criminals -both leads played by possibly the most two charismatic actors alive. Inexplicably that is not an issue here. I was really invested in what they are up to and I wanted them to turn their lives around. I guess that is this "chemistry" thing people are always banging on about.

If you want excitement or clever plot twists or nudity or pretty much anything outside of a rather standard romance then steer well clear of this. Saying that I really enjoyed this, take a gamble put it on in the background and see if it drags you in.
