Let me start by saying that this movie has a great premise and from the trailers I knew I'd at least enjoy it.

And I did, the supporting cast is excellent.

The only issue is we barely get to interact with them at all.

With excellent artists like Scroobius Pip who portray some actual interesting characters, it feels like they're barely in the movie, all being killed off with little screen time or fanfare

Instead, we get an insufferable vlogger who not only takes up most of the movie, it's apparent by the end of it that he's learned nothing and not grown at all. He's still the same child that got everyone killed, and seems to have not changed for the process in the slightest.

Between that and police chief mom singing nursery rhymes (with no pay off) the movie focuses all its energy on the wrong parts.

The supporting cast is excellent though, give it that.
