It loses steam about halfway through and takes a wild and unexpected pivot to squeeze just a little more life from the story. In the end though, it’s not interesting enough, and the satire isn’t biting enough. It’s got plenty of the classic Jesse Armstrong lines that will have people golf-clapping at the screen and the performances are terrific (especially Cory Michael Smith who is magnetic in every scene) and those are just about enough to carry the film but I was hoping for something a lot sharper.
A huge let-down..
