A concept that just gets my brain firing but goes in a way I just find annoying. Great end sequence with Brando tho!

I'm not exactly sure why this movie didn't work for me. Maybe it was the ending or the awkward attempt to build suspense with the camera. However, when it was over, I understood why I failed to hear about this Brando-Scott movie. It's very forgettable.
