Viewing Notes

This was a well shot movie, and located in Chicago, which was a surprise to me. I wanted to like the movie more than I ended up doing so, but still it wasn’t terrible.

Pacing seemed to be the biggest issue, along with some cliched plot points. It’s a shame to see a talented actor like Gary Oldman take on these throwaway bit parts (along with Idris Elba, who is also mostly wasted here, though his possession scene almost makes it worth it!).

Odette Yustman (nee Annable) does a decent job in the lead role (I’m not gonna lie, I became an instant fan immediately after the underwear/bathroom scene). In some scenes she seemed much older than the character’s age she was portraying, but in others came across as younger. While this might seem minor, it was enough to make me question how old she really was supposed to be and what the hell really was going on.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch this, but it’s not terrible if you find yourself sitting in front of it.
