Review: (#1, C) Putting the various personae of Glen Powell’s fake hitman is an interesting concept but the background color scheme is as dull as it comes.

Trailer Rating: C / C+

Review: (#1, C) This comedy doesn’t have a lot of comedic elements to it even if it is a dark comedy. You may get the vague notion that the central figure is a hit man but only because the title tells you that information not because the trailer gives you any of that information. It’s a rather dull effort.

(#2, C+) With a little more information about the film’s premise, it devolves pretty quickly into a rote exploration of the film’s characters without making any of them interesting.

Oscar Prospects:

Richard Linklater is a name you should always look out for in terms of Oscar potential. That said, his films are an acquired taste, especially his comedies, so I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for this film’s success at the Oscars.
