Basically a revenge fantasy about common society annoyances - people who talk on the phone while in line and not paying attention when it is their turn to order, for example - but the premise and the payoff are both weak. The foes the movie presents are exaggerated, cartoonish and cliche. Another example - a bank might turn down your loan, but not with the contrived cartoony arrogance of the character portrayed here.
The acting, filming, everything, has the aesthetic of the non-sex parts of porn. You could record a high school play on your phone and have a decent chance that it would result in a better movie.
They blatantly steal from the "flair" jokes from Office Space, admit during the movie it is stealing that from Office Space, and then proceed to do nothing more interesting with the bit, they just do a poorer job of presenting the same thing.
I don't even understand other reviews here giving any credit to the acting. It is terrible. The whole thing sucks, the dialog is bad, the acting is bad, the plot is weak and dumb. It's just a handful of annoying behaviors and a person with (ha-ha, I guess?) a terminal illness having a no-holds-barred attitude against them. And everyone clapped.
So, so, dumb, and so poorly executed.
I'm annoyed and depressed having wasted part of my life seeing this. I don't usually write reviews, but I now feel it is my only salvation from this not-even-good-bad garbage. I'm annoyed that Amazon Prime Video even had this in its catalog for me to stupidly stumble into and think that it might be good. I'm depressed that I watched half of it before I started skipping over parts to get to the end, hoping the movie might save itself somehow. No, it is just dumb, it gets more dumb, and then it wraps it up in an unfunny, cringey, awkward, just weird out of nowhere dumb bow.
Save yourself. Stop reading reviews on this movie, run away, don't look back, and never think of this movie again. It is too late for me, but you can still go and live your life. Run.
