Because I remember watching the trailer a while back and the music coupled with some A list actors drew me in! I remember watching something on YouTube and this came up in the adds and lacking things to watch I watched it and it looked decent. I had forgotten all about it and saw it come up on my HBO maxx app a while and realized it was this! I'm writing lots of filer because the 600 requirement! Lol. Ok who wrote this and why oh why did these actors agree to the script?!? I can't stand Bale's over caricature like performance! When one acts you should feel them genuine and the character but almost everyone was like this and I kept finding myself getting angry because I kept analyzing ever scene!! When they first introduce Robbie I thought she the best of the lot The wife's terrible! Anna Taylor joy! Taylor Swift!? ( Why did they pick her)?!? At first I thought they were trying to style the weird voices the actors of the 40-50's had but then that wouldn't explain the way Deniero talks/acts. The script so bland and predictable. I was so mad with 20 minutes left I thought there has to be some big twist-reveal tha wi make this all worth while but, NO! Was it just a movie set over 100 years ago to in the end seem to be giving us some 2020 message? Eugenics was indeed very interesting( I just bought a book on the subject) but this doesn't get into any of that or what? In fact we really don't know why these people are getting killed and I for one could of cared less! So very disappointing!
