shot in bostewn !
Is the story of a NPC in a GTA-like videogame that one day falls in love with a player; said player is also the avatar of a girl who IRL was a coder for Bad Dude, who is the owner of the company that hosts the videogame. OH THE HUMANITY.
Obviously the clock is ticking because reasons, new game, idk idc and the girl must find the hidden code which Bad Guy stole.
Reynolds is upset when he discovers he is a NPC, but in the end he becomes a hero and because reasons, also everyone in the world (a'la Truman Show) loves him, bad guy goes to IRL jail, etc.
Ok so .. not HORRIBLE, but also, i'm not sure that a target audience exists, for this kind of story. Probably my 80yo mom, if she understood the references - but not fully - might like it as it is. Otherwise for everyone else, it's soppy, it's a stupid love story that is extremely unrelatable, and as an action film it fucking sucks. So
if you wanted to know if you can polish a turd, the answer is, you totally can.
I'm happy to watch a romantic film, hell, i'll watch the fuck out of Pretty Woman, but man, i don't think there is a single human being that i would recommend this film to.
so .. my vote is.. 7(
?)/10 ??
i mean .. it's well made, but .. who the hell was this story written for.
Watch
Boss Level instead.
