I wanted to like this. Good grief, Bill Murray AND Adam Driver, and that's just the top billed performers.
But it was slow, disjointed, and a major disappointment. Mostly it's the director congratulating himself on being so hip. It's not funny enough (despite a few great lines) to do well as a comedy, and since there are no characters we really care about it fails as a horror movie.
The individual actors do what they can under the circumstances. The photography is nice except in scenes where it's too dark to see what's going on.
All in all, a major dud. If you're a big Adam Driver fan, watch PATERSON and see what he can do with a strong script and a fleshed out character to play.
