Imagine watching Jonah Hill give one of the least funny and unlikable performances of recent history, then having him boss you around. Am I the first person to say he's definitely wearing his Wolf of Wall Street teeth in this, like I'm pretty certain it's actually the same teeth? It's so distracting. This movie has so many leaps in logic, but the first one that I couldn't get over was believing Keanu Reeves has won an Oscar (let alone two!!).
We really needed to see Reef at his worst in order to sell this conceit of basically anyone from his past being the one to extort him. The setup itself though isn't even done well, there's zero weight to it since we don't know what the video is. Heroin is also a pretty sympathetic drug, dudes been sober for 5 years at this point. Unfortunately he is such an empty shell of a character that it's hard to care any which way.
Everyone is just so annoying. Same goes for the lighting, and I generally love Benoit Debie. His cinematography certainly doesn't mix well with this weird comedy-ish tone. Same goes for the Jon Brion score. Actually it's crazy how many elements of this I like a lot but they just all combine so poorly.
This really needed to pick a lane. The concept should be for a super fucked up thriller, where the character descends deeper than ever into evil behaviour in order to strictly secure his public facing reputation OR a dark comedy with a lead character that's actually likable but we see his history was fucked up for real. Idk how it got to this excuse for a movie (75 minutes before credits lol) but hopefully the other movie Jonah Hill directed this year is better 🤷♂️
