The plot: A professional fixer is hired to cover up a high-profile crime. But when a second fixer shows up and the two “lone wolves” are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected.
This movie was Okay.
Pros: It’s pacing took a while to get going. Brad Pitt and George Clooney were quite a fun pair in this movie along with director Jon Watts that helped sell this movie. This film is very beautiful to watch and a lot of the character development were solid enough.
Cons: A long with the pacing taking forever to get going. Dimitri and the mob didn’t have a chance to be threatening enough. The plot itself wasn’t enough to get invested and this was Apple TV+ weakest release in my opinion.
