Not quite the fury one is expecting.
Relies too much on tropes and stereotypes to build a convincing plot.
Hmm. Interesting twist, but who didn’t see that coming 🙄 ...?
‘Unreliable narrator’ is putting it lightly and you want to feel some affinity with the storyteller at some point—this one is a self-centred, untrustworthy liar—and you sense that very well from the start; where we’re asked to pity him, we feel disgust; where we’re asked to relate, we feel nauseated.
By the end of this fiasco, though the twists were 'hmm. interesting', you’re sure glad this one is over.
