With how much this season has flip-flopped around in terms of box office and film quality so far, there is a lot of uncertainty at the midway point of Season 23. Here's The Roundup....
3. The CultureThe characters (at least those played by Alex and Nat Wolff) were pretty insufferable at times. They grow on the audience a bit by the end, but the started out with them being so bad that it never really helped much. That said, I did think the story itself was well written by Jacob Jones.
2. Second Half of Season 23
I assure you the second half has some amazing films waiting for everyone. It may seem like I'm blowing smoke with how the season has gone so far, but just trust me and stay tuned.
1. Uncharted 4
Uncharted 4 was a bit bland, but it still worked. And obviously it worked at the box office - especially compared to the failure of the other two films financially.
3. Box Office
Uncharted 4 did well, but The Culture and We Were Never Here combined to lose over $37 million before it.
2. We Were Never Here
There's nothing majorly wrong with the film. It's competently told and acted. But everything felt predictable. The story itself could have worked if told in a more heightened manner, but it felt super robotic and by-the-numbers in the end.
1. Alex Wolff
I've seen very little of his work outside of LRF, but his work within LRF has resulted one of the more annoying screen presences in recent years. He's regularly cast as unlikable hipsters. Somebody please cast him as something else, or just stop casting him for a while.
