One of These Days

This story really does sound like it only could happen for real in America. Stupid scripts, can turn out to be good movies, but did it work this time around? The good: I must give it to them, the acting was better than I expected, with lots of weirdo characters acting really well. That's the best part of this movie, the characters and man are they s89*)d up. However... The bad: however stupid (and potentially) funny this story sounded at the beginning I soon realised that this movie was a DUD. Going nowhere. Slow. Boring. Obnoxiously boring. At least a rewrite of the script is in order. A lot shorter. Perhaps then, this movie could be worthwhile a watch, now it beats taking a sleeping pill....

Waste of time. Waste of money. Waste of talent. Granted this may be on a somewhat superficial level. On a deeper level it's a boring slog. That said, there's room for some pretentious interpretation, like social criticism. Unfortunately, I didn't think the topic was conceptually interesting enough to engage with it so I was bored instead. The ending was a relief to be honest. I felt the same relief I Imagine the people taking part in these games must feel after 100 hours. Only, the movie sapped out 2 out of me.
