I like the framing of this a lot. But I also found the whole thing quite corny stylistically. To the point where those flashy elements took me out of the movie a lot. Those stupid fucking synths were ridiculous to me. The last scene is also lined up to be one of the most tense sequences in the movie but the music and the way it was shot felt really comical and strange. I definitely think this is more tongue in cheek then his previous films but it’s hard to tell when I was laughing with it or at it. Great performances and good writing though. Those two actors look so much like tennis players.
