I guess this was pushed back from the original release date, but it looks like it is coming out this weekend.

Saw this a few weeks ago.
While I'm unfamiliar with the source material, I was baffled at how a film featuring Daisy Ridley & Ben Mendelsohn could be so incredibly dull.

I thought this was fine. Slow to develop for sure, but the cast was good, and I didn’t feel like I had wasted my time. Though the first time I saw the title I thought it was a fantasy movie.

If you go in this as a drama and not a suspense or thriller maybe it is more enjoyable since there are no really shocking twists or anything that surprises the viewer.
