The movie is alright, I guess, but one thing really bugs me. That forced "love story" between Watts and Mortensen? It felt totally unnecessary. The whole thing would’ve been way more grounded without it. Plus, they really needed to cut someone else from the main cast—right now, the whole vibe leans way too hard into melodrama with the Rus crew and stuff like that.
I can't even begin to explain this one.

Owen is generally the man, especially after seeing him in Closer, but I feel like he’s kind of coasting with this role. I get that everyone is making these gritty, non-scripted indie flicks nowadays, but does he really have to...? Monica Bellucci is also incredible, but honestly, why does she keep taking these roles where she plays the femme fatale? It's like those two roles weren't enough for her. The movie itself is total garbage (aside from the special effects, but hey, every recent movie has decent CGI). I just hope Owen doesn't sign on for another project like this, otherwise, he's going to be a washed-up actor real fast.
Tony Manero🤣 Honestly, he’s easily the coolest guy in the whole movie. I still can't wrap my head around how they even managed to greenlight a sequel to this thing. And don't even get me started on that title, "Stay Alive." Seriously? If someone filmed something like that today, people wouldn't be trying to stay alive—they'd be praying for a quick exit just to end the misery. Plus, having the director play a guy who acts like a total tough guy version of Rambo or Rocky? Ah... John Doe!!!
