I found this pretty depressing, it's a slow soul crushing sadness as the film goes on and you realise how delusional your protagonist is. I could find no light it just made me sad, and the slightly comical police characters just jarred me more. I like dark and depressing things but it has to give me something back, either glorious language or magnificent visuals, this gives me neither. Rami Malek is an impressive actor you really believe he is that tired or sad and that he can be two sides of one person.
Better Than This: Mr. Robot (2015) (TV) Rami Malek leads this brilliant hacker series, The Shining (1980) Superb breakdown in a massive hotel, more than haunting, Raining Stones (1993) Truly depressing yet excellent look at a proud but poor mans quest to get his daughter a First Communion dress.
