Spiderhead (2022) Movie Thread

[Bandit]

Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy, Top Gun: Maverick, Oblivion) directing this intriguing mind-bender thriller; drops June 17. Could be something above the usual Netflix churn and Kosinski has a good eye, his films are never less than interesting to look at.

Miles Teller and Chris Hemsworth are good castings who might do something interesting if the script is good; Hemsworth in particular seems to be channeling something like his turn in Bad Times At The El Royale, which is not a bad thing.

I will keep an eye out for it, Netflix definitely needs to up the bar for their "originals" and focusing on directors with a bit of visual flair rather than money-thrown-at-A-listers would be a good start.

We watched this tonight.

An interesting premise that peeters out into absolute generic nothingness and a rubbish, lazy ending. Good performances but that's about it.

Puzzled as to how they spent $100m on it.
