Matthew Hardy

This is a terrible movie! When I saw the cast, which included Cillian Murphy, Helen Mirren, and Luke Evans, I thought this must be good. I couldn't have been more wrong. First, the acting was sophomoric at best. Sasha Luss constantly overacted, and her one-word deliveries were more painful than any of the violent scenes. Second, the violence was over the top - scenes kept going on and on (e.g., the restaurant) with no point to them other than they had to make up for their pathetic script and direction. I thought this could have been a clever movie, such as the series Killing Eve, but it didn't even come close. Finally, this reminded me of Halle Berry's 2004 Catwoman, so painful to watch.

First, most of the positive reviews are from the first two episodes which I grant you are good and compelling. I was right there with them; however, once we move past from Darby's past to Iceland the series takes a serious nose dive. Another strong indicator is how fast the series disappeared from Hulu's top 15. Average at best and that is being generous. Second, overacting by predictable characters is like nails on a chalkboard. Finally, there are better mysteries out there, so do not waste your time with this one.
