I kept meaning to post this this weekend but other things kept distracting me. Hints of hardcore Henry without the first-person viewpoint. Radcliffe's picking his parts well, and he's worked hard to get the hell away from Potter. Looking forward to this

Well???
It's different. 
Or is it.
Anyone else getting echoes of Running Man?

Well, it's garbage. Fun in places, but if Dan wasn't in it, no-one would have any reason to watch it, ever. The first 15 minutes are a mess, the cinematography is staright out of avant-garde film school, the plot is so linear a slide rule would be jealous, and any attempt at character development is rendered moot by the overall story and the last 30 seconds, which was obviously shoe-horned in to give the film some semblence of a cohesive ending.

Watch once, enjoy it for what it is, but you'll never want to watch it again. In a way it's gratifying that Dan's obviously so minted, but still eager to work, that he'll take any niche oddity that comes his way

I always feel sorry for actors who hate being typecast, not that Daniel had a choice being a child actor and making one of the biggest grossing movies of all time with the Harry Potter series.

He has went well out his way to get out of the Potter image, and has had success in some movies like 'the Woman in Black'.

After Pete-mk's remarks, I think i will just wait till this movie is on the telly to see it.

This is on Amazon Prime now, watched it last night.

This is clearly aimed at millenials, so I really am not the audience for this as it's all about modern social media and the hunt for 'likes'.

Radcliffe is clearly not afraid of looking like an idiot and picks his roles on merit, even if that merit is something only he can understand.

It's deffo a 'watch once only' film, lots of gratuitous violence and barely any sense...
