I like this film so much more the second time around. During my first watch, I thought the big reveal was not twisty enough. I thought the whole she pukes when she lies thing unrealistic. I did not like Chris Evans' performance the first time around. I remember there was an ick with Cap's performance. I think what happened was I had really high expectation before watching the film.
During my second watch, I actually thought the plot was clever. I didn't think twice about the puking when lying thing. And I didn't find Cap performance cringy. All in all, it's a well written story. The overall performances were solid. Jamie Lee Curtis was great. Toni Collette was great. Cap was solid. My one criticm second time around was what is up with Daniel Craig's accent. Was it necessary? That accent gives me the ick. |
