| 32:56 | Lot more of Bumper in this than I was expecting to see. |

Thoughts
Oh, just terrible.
I was kinda expecting it to be pretty rubbish, and it really only popped up on our radar because of the Adam Devine/Netflix combination that worked so well with When We First Met. There were some moments that were good, and somehow it managed to be funnier than I thought, but also a lot worse than I thought as well.
Like I said in the notes above, the film doesn't seem to quite know what it wants to be. It's a comedy, sure, but then some of the violence is just too graphic to sit well in context. So maybe it wants to be a thriller but the story is nowhere near strong enough to cover it.
Really, very bad.
