The plot: A happily engaged couple get put to the test when an unexpected revelation sends their wedding week off the rails.
I was intrigued of this film before checking it out.
This film was surprisingly insane.
Pros: I like how it shows the in and out of the Emma & Charlie’s relationship through he’s perspective. The dramedy of Robert Pattinson & Zendaya were so great together on screen. It does a good job building sympathy for Emma even she done a bad thing. The flashbacks were dark and heart-wrenching. It feels like the film its taking the on this journey through the relationship. & how the twist made the final moments of the film unique.
Cons: It doesn’t make a argument on gun control that well. Rachel wasn’t that likeable as Emma’s friend. Emma wasn’t that well developed and this one could be a mindbender for a lot of people.
