I saw the trailer for this when I went to see Air. I was meh on it. I likely won't see this in the theater and wait until it hits Red Box or a premium channel I have. Never been a big fan of Toni Collette as a lead actress. And this just looks like a mix of mafia cliches they are poking fun at.

Toni Collette is one of my very favorite actresses working today. She can do anything, comedy, drama, horror. She looks fun in this.

I can't imagine seeing a worse movie this year. In about fifteen years, this will be perfect for whatever the future equivalent of podcasts who dissect crappy movies and wonder how they got made.
Everything in this movie, the writing, the jokes, the characters, seem to be aiming for the level of a five year old. The characters are all supernaturally stupid, like characters on season 5 of a sit-com who've been dumbed down over the years. I felt embarrassed watching this movie.
Which makes it all the more bizarre that it is also filled with gruesome violence. The audience I was with seemed to be okay with this childish movie, but after the attempted rape scene where the attacker is stabbed multiple times in his dick, spurting blood, before close-ups of his eyes being slowly gouged out of their sockets with a stiletto heel, I don't recall hearing any more laughter for the rest of the movie. What was the audience in mind for this?

Toni Collette usually has pretty good taste. Not a lot of duds on her filmography, though there are a few in there.

19% and 64% audience score.
I guess this will be a complete pass for me.
A certain poster here will probably rent it anyways because he needs to watch every fucking new movie no matter how bad the reviews are

I wouldn't have expected the gore either from the trailer but that makes the movie sound far more interesting to me now.

This is on Showtime.
It was rated "R" for a reason and that explains the violence and gore for a couple of scenes but mostly it was tame.
What happened to Catherine Hardwicke?
I thought she was one of the more respected directors when she did Thirteen and then she did Twilight and it was all downhill after that.

I rented this from Prime Day and watched it maybe 3-4 weeks ago. It's pretty terrible. Collette's character is annoying AF. Just a bunch of heightened Italian mafia cliches. Not remotely funny. If there was a small bright side, I kind of liked Monica Bellucci here.
