This review originally ran during the Sundance Film Festival.
He later says hes trying to introduce order into a chaotic universe.
(Theres a gun in the back seat a mystery.)
If he allows himself feelings, how can he keep them from consuming him?
I couldnt agree more.
But after its intriguing start, the movie gets dumb and dumberer.
Third-act problems, concluded many in the Sundance audience.
But the first two acts have issues, too.
Either he finally softens or he doesnt, and if he doesnt theres really no movie, is there?
We just have to sit and watch him grump while Fannings Grace compensates by babbling and invading his space.
Even the requisite surefire post-apocalyptic supermarket scene (anything that isnt expired they can snatch) isnt fun.
Dogs, birds, and fish seem okaybut are there other humans left alive?
Im not supposed to say.
