Finally got around to watching this. It was a swing and a miss IMO. Interesting concept but honestly it was pretty boring. They didn’t need Jared Leto in that role because they gave his character zero to work from.
   The plot lines they did work off were so predictable and cliched that I had trouble staying engaged. I think ‘boring’ is about the perfect description for this movie....and it’s two hours long so there’s plenty of it.

I agree 100%.

The trailer drew me in, but man was I bored. I ended up turning it off half way through.

That one was on my list, but disappointing to hear it's not great.

Man honestly, save the two hours and use it towards another on the list. If it were even halfway decent I’d suggest watching it on your own and judging for yourself.

It’s pretty bad.

Thanks for the advice!

I think what was putting me off initially was the 2 hour + running time. It's hard to find 2 free hours to watch anything at the minute.  :)

That's why I waited so long to finally watch it as well. Then I committed, thinking it's a NETFLIX production and they've been pretty good about what they put out.....Jared Leto ain't no slouch.....interesting premise.....then BOOM. Two hour snooze fest. I'd love to say something good about the movie just to make me feel better for watching the entire thing....but I can't find anything to mention.

The enjoyment you get from watching the trailer far exceeds anything you'll garner from the movie itself. It's that bad.
