Not only a thrilling examination of fame and violence in the 21st century and how the two are intrinsically linked, it might also be 2018's most blistering cinematic provocation this side of Lars von Trier.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
