4/10
Not as fulfilling as I had hoped for.
8 November 2020
Being a detective isn't always the most glamorous job in the world, but this film takes it too far in just how slow and boring it can be. Abe Applebaum, our story protagonist, hates his life and drinks it away as he doesn't have any real cases to work on. This film feels more of a documentary of how life sucks as an adult. Of the entirety of this film only the last 10-15 minutes was enjoyable. (Yes, that's typically how films work) However, there should at least feel like there's some build-up to an ending and this film just doesn't do it. We get minimal blips of life, but ultimately it goes from dead one moment to alive the next and then done, walking out the theatre.

Honestly, I'm finding it hard to find words to write a meaningful review on this film. Just like the movie, I'm all over the place and wish I could give you more, but alas you're left thinking, "What was that?" Overall, I could only recommend watching this film on a streaming service. At least if you're going to fall asleep, you can do it at home.
