What makes it different from others?
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
