Dragging and unfunny. Those are the two words that kept circling in my head the entire time. I kept waiting for some kind of momentum or payoff, but the film never really gets there. There’s barely any buildup, just long stretches of dialogue that go nowhere. Most of it plays out like an extended conversation about their schemes, dragging on for almost the entire runtime, with the actual action only showing up near the end. By that point, it feels too little, too late. On top of that, the cast just doesn’t have the chemistry to make any of it engaging, so the scenes end up feeling flat and lifeless. It had the setup for something fun or sharp, but instead, it just lingers without much direction, and worse, without any real payoff.
