Watching it now.

I am only about 30 mins in, but the pacing is horrible. I understand there is probably a lot that needs to be covered, but Damon and Driver are inseparable friends, then, in about 5 mins become deathly enemies based on something that happens off camera? Come on, now…

After finishing the movie, the pacing makes more sense…

it is a POV structured movie

meh

good production value, I guess.

6/10

i will never be tempted to watch it again.

I lost interest halfway through the show. I get how/why they structured it that way, but it didn't work for me.

I wanted to quit it, but it has been getting good reviews, and too many times I have been pleasantly surprised by a movie late, so I went with it.

Understanding the story telling technique saved my opening complaint, but I thought it was a bit clunky.

I went in thinking just get through it, since I am a medieval movie junkie. But honestly in the end I liked it much better than I thought I would.
Having her POV to me makes the movie all come together. Then adding in she was a true person. Something I didnt know going into this. Makes it more interesting.
Ultimately. I liked this movie.

Both men were in their 50's when it happened. They got the age difference wrong in the movie for Drivers character
