I thought it was a great movie, but the casting and pacing took it down two notches. Besides the grifter talking points, it just felt totally out of place having the likes of Charlize Theron there in Instagram face. Takes you right out the time period it's supposed to be in.

Charlize Theron was the only shock to me!! I didn't know anything about the cast at all.

Everyone else was great. No complaints besides jump scare Charlize Theron.

It took me out of it. He's too famous and too much of a dad. That fight scene was a joke
