Timotheé for Russ plz. No joke though I love the way the tables are turning in Hank, he’s turning into a more unique crime protagonist. This plot barely gives a second to breathe and I do have some gripes with that but for the most part it’s BALLIN’.

Edwin is too good. Demand both that we see more of him in the movie & that it’s Dave Bautista who plays him. 💪

Absolutely nasty. I’ve never grimaced so much at mere words. But Huston really leans into the torture sequence the anxiety of being trapped with no knowledge as to why, it’s all really biting, potent stuff.

Also plz cast Sterling K. Brown as Roman I’m begging you Sony.

tense (!) tense (!) tense (!)

sidebar: this protagonist is so ridiculous, entertaining, but ridiculous. Almost like a depressed Nick Miller.

Idk why I feel this exactly, because plot wise it is very dissimilar, but it’s entrenching in me the same energy as ‘Fight Club’. Maybe it’s drowning in apathy and dead dreams for a future he can’t have? Either way this is both funnier and more engaging than I thought it would be this early!

P.S. I’m here as a VERY dedicated Austin Butler fan.
