4 stars is being nice. Justified by the fact that the only interesting thing is Bell's story, which by itself it's terrifying and would have made a great standalone documentary. Besides that, conjectures and over analyzing scenes (of shows I too watched as a kid) is just sooo much!! Dan might have been an awful boss, but no real evidence of anything else (besides being misogynist piece of**). I am at awe at how overthinking and over analyzing can lead to dumb conclusions such as these. Not everything has to have sexual connotation people!! And even if it were true, it's not interesting at all.

I don't usually write reviews but, this is so worth it. Even if the ending is not the best, this kept me watching and on the edge of my seat!! An amazing concept that is well executed. Strong performances, amazing script and top notch editing. The 70's vibe is great, the suspense is nonstop. Might not scare you at all, but it will surely keep you entertained. Only cons I can think of are: the excessive amount of title cards from production companies (literally a record!) and the special effects (which is understandable since 1. They keep the 70's vibe and 2. It is more of an indie title). Nonetheless, so so good i was left in awe!!

I really don't get the hype of this, this is basically a story about how rich people become millionaires in the easiest way. The movie is very well made don't get me wrong, strong performances, slick dialogue and nice cinematography, still the story itself is bland, undramatic and boring. Why make movies about a meh real life story with no dramatic turns, stakes nor interesting conflict?! I love the shoes, the story is just boring, plain and can be told in 5 minutes tops. Everything just comes so easy for Michael and Nike, besides a few offers that obstacle the deal. If you wanna watch a real gripping story, watch Tetris.
