You can’t help shake the feeling that it needed something else: a bigger twist, a stickier conflict, some heightened stakes.
For a guy like Glen Powell, the ascent to movie stardom isn’t really a question. It’s more like an inevitability.
Based on a “somewhat true story” though it may be, this is a film that asks its audience to buy into the idea that the characters in this film believe that Powell’s face is bland and forgettable. This has everything to do with his character, Gary Johnson, a philosophy professor in New Orleans who lives a quiet, solitary life in the suburbs tending to his two cats, birding, tinkering with electronics and helping the local police install surveillance equipment for sting operations.
Things do pick up with the introduction of The Girl, Madison , an unhappy wife looking to get rid of her cruel husband. Gary meets her as “Ron,” who acts and dresses like the leading man of an action movie, or a cocky off-duty movie star, with well-fitting jeans and tight henleys and cool-guy jackets showing off his inexplicably ripped physique.
