In the midst of all of the crazy comedy, Wright finds room for a few sobering details: A
scene in which Gary chooses to batter his head against a wall
rather than revealing some hidden scars is emotionally devastating even as it nods cheerfully to midnight - movie
classics like The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Rather than an intricate plot and subtle character development used in their
classic No Country for Old Men (2007), this is more a collection of
scenes loosely tied together thanks to their connection to Eddie Mannix, Capitol Pictures «fixer».
