This feels like a film made by a Google algorithm. What does the target 18-34 audience search for/like?
Swanky Mid century modern!
Abandoned hotels
Conspiracies!
Classic 60’s cars
Neon signs,
retro girl groups, Phil Spector, and Motown
murderous religious cult figures
Super saturated color, a la Tarantino
Brutal murders with nostalgic music playing (al la David Lynch’s Blue Velvet).
Jon Hamm in thick glasses!
Chris Helmsworth shirtless!
And voila!
It wasn’t terrible, I love a good redemption story, The noir genre, and pretty sets. But this was a movie without a soul.
