What started as a dark film about Marshall (from How I Met Your Mother, yes he'll always be Marshall) trying to kill his wife somehow turned into something spectacular.
The couple are clearly dysfunctional from the very beginning. They hate each other, barely tolerate being in the same room together and, apparently, in 2026 that's all the motivation some people need to start plotting murder.
Relationship counselling clearly wasn't an option.
What I enjoyed most was the way the story is told through different perspectives. Seeing the same events from multiple points of view gradually reveals what's really going on and keeps you second-guessing everything you've already seen.
It reminded me a lot of Go (1999), one of my all-time favourite films. Both films play with perspective brilliantly, which also features the brilliant Tim Olyphant.
The film also gave me strong Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibes. Not because it's the same story, but because it has that same mixture of relationship drama, dark humour and people making extremely questionable life choices.
No spoilers from me, but things get increasingly disturbing as the film goes on. Every time I thought I knew where it was heading, it took another turn.
I don't think I'll ever look at a lawnmower the same way again.
4/5
