Companion. As much as I like Quaid, thereâs not a lot for him to do here as the scheming weasel. It very much neuters his usual bumbling charm. Thatcher is fine (youâll never hear me say that again) in her role, the rest of the film doesnât make any sense, at all. Youâve seen literally every single scene here before, multiple times, and the whole idea was done much better in the likes of Ex Machina.
Standoff at Sparrow Creek. An isolated militia tries to work out which one of them just pulled off a mass shooting at a police funeral. Essentially a series of shadowy conversations as everyone interrogates everyone else and tries to work out who did it. Itâs okay. Strikes me as very much like a play. Some solid acting, but thatâs all thatâs holding up a shaky plot.
