Tribeca Film Festival 2024: This was 1h 30m and felt like it was over 2 hours. The performances were great, especially Alfie Allen, who I imagine had to smoke roughly 5000 cigarettes over the course of filming lol. It was also my first time seeing Ashley Benson in a role outside of Pretty Little Liars, I thought she also did a great job (Edit: That's not true, I've seen her in Spring Breakers, she's great in that as well). I just didn't get a good feel for how Tim got to be where he was and what was really driving him to do what he did. And the ending with footage of the aftermath was edited really chaotically, that was weird. Overall it just dragged and the sound mixing was weird, there was a lot of whispering that I couldn't tell if I was even supposed to hear what they were saying or not.

I expected a better ending, but overall 95 percent of the movie was decent, not great but equal to that of a documentary. I expected more violence during the movie.
