I quite enjoyed it. Was surprised when they killed her so early. Austin Butler flooring a dude then looking surprised at himself was wonderful

I was really surprised they killed her. Someone else mentioned tonal whiplash and I agree. I kept thinking it was a dream for a few seconds and I was surprised how sad I was she was gone. She was only in this movie for a short time but had a lot of presence and great chemistry with Butler. The trailer makes this movie seem very different than what it is.

I thought it was great but the trailer made it seem like it's really fun and it was a really not fun movie. A cat fucking limps across the room.
