What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split right down the middle on this one. It's a game of cat and mouse between criminal Jack Wolfe and his wife Nora, each trying to out-scheme the other for the money. Samuel L. Jackson carries the film as the charismatic Jack, which is the main positive takeaway. For many, the story itself feels thin and predictable, undermining all the double-crossing. Eva Green's performance as Nora divided opinions, and the overall response is a shrug, with the strong lead performance fighting against a plot that just doesn't feel fresh.
