What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis is a total toss-up, split right down the middle. Samuel L. Jackson carries it as criminal mastermind Jack Wolfe, with most people saying he’s the main reason to watch. Eva Green gets a more mixed reaction as his plotting wife Nora. The big problem is the story itself, which is seen as tired and overly familiar, and the whole premise of a married couple trying to out-scheme each other doesn’t feel fresh. It’s a slick but hollow watch that leans entirely on Jackson’s charisma.
