My one star review is based on the story, and the public’s strange joy they get from a fairly twisted movie. I wouldn’t label this as comedy or action, in fact I’m not sure what to label it. The movie is about what appears to be a non-threatening male lead suddenly becoming capable of accessory to one count (maybe 2) of murder, and one count of murder (a police officer nonetheless) all because he fell in love with a woman he thought wasn’t capable of paying a hit man to kill her controlling husband, but in the end actually WAS capable of killing him herself, and poisoning a police officer. The strange thing is audiences… liked this??? What about this movie was funny? What about it was action? I’ve also seen it listed as a rom-com… what about it was romantic? Two obviously mentally unwell people capable of murder and obstruction of justice falling in love? This whole movie is twisted, and I’m not sure how to feel about the people who think it was good.
