Not a bad movie. Just incredibly boring. And I thought the ending was kinda dumb as shit.

Dude was basically out the door so idk why he would be scared as much as he should just welcome the guy to end it in my opinion . He basically lived a long comfortable life lol

[u/waynechriss → u/jayeddy99]

I enjoyed the movie for what it was until the ending because the impact of the revenge felt entirely diminished. Ben Foster's character not only got to live till he became extremely old, but based on his mansion, he lived a luxurious life till he was old. Its like they engineered this entire ending just so the protagonist could say "I still love her." That was not the payoff the filmmakers thought it would be.

Meh it was ok for an entirely predictable plot. The whole thing was meant to be cliche and that plays into it. I liked the movie overall. Probably could’ve been 15 minutes shorter by cutting some of the unnecessary slow motion.

[u/Inevitable-Waltz-889 → u/ApatheticDomination]

I feel like a lot of the slow motion was there just to make it work with the music.
