There was a point in this movie where I thought to myself, "I'm not sure who's going to come out on top, but I also don't really care." There isn't enough to separate the characters. There is no good and evil. They are all just awful. That's not a fun way to watch a film.
Getting the negatives out of the way first, the screaming and shouting in this movie is unbearable. I read that they were trying to make it like a play and so they had to exaggerate everything. And that's fine but there has to be a better way to do it. Watching a woman scream at absolutely nothing over and over again is just a dreadful experience.
All that said, I didn't hate the film. It was my kind of film actually. It just wasn't done the way I would've liked, with interesting set pieces and some action sprinkled in here and there. I did like all the twists and Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve in their primes is a sight to see. However I probably won't remember this one a week from now. 6/10.
