Saw this a few months back. Not the greatest movie ever, but the pacing is pretty good so it's a pleasant watch. I wondered the whole way through why they picked an actor with almost no screen presence in the lead and was surprised to learn he is actually famous for the TV Show The Good Doctor. Liam "Onion Knight" Cunningham does not stray far from his GoT character, but it worked well there and works well here too.

The lead was alright I felt for a young naive guy. Saw him on Good Doctor a ways back when I checked a few episodes out.. I'd probably cast someone with a little more charisma for the female lead but wasn't a weak point.

Biggest surprise was the CGI and face filter they used on Famke Janssen. Older actresses typically get a blur lense or something these days, but from the gate they just went full CGI on her to smooth her out and maintained it pretty much to the point where if a man was talking across from her, the switch from his face to her face between shots would expose the CGI. It wasn't too bad and you need to be keyed into these things visually to pick up on it, but was it even necessary?

Can she just be a mature woman? Minor gripe, just felt out of place having so much aesthetic enhancement on someone playing someone of age.
