Bonkers Does Not Always Equal Good
13 September 2021
Many reviews for this seem to express the idea that it is "bonkers but in the best possible way" It is bonkers but it is bonkers in a stupid way which attempts to put all of its weight on a "shocking twist" which is hardly shocking when it arrives. It is not as clever with its absurdity as it thinks or as people are trying to claim it is and the journey to the twist ending is not enjoyable enough to make up for the lack of surprise. I do understand that some absurdity was intentional but even that isn't heavy enough to be intentionally hilarious. I was waiting for this one and had high hopes given Wan's other works but this one was a disappointment all the way through. After turning it off at the 48 minutes mark once I decided to ride it out and was left with the final opinion that..... I should have stuck with leaving at 48 minutes in!
