Except for Mary (portrayed excellently by Da’Vine Joy Randolph), it’s challenging to appreciate the other rather despicable characters. Although they are presented as flawed but endearing, they come across as unlikable or ‘assholish’. Having unlikable characters isn’t an issue, but it becomes problematic when it’s clear that this wasn’t the writer’s intention.

Simultaneously, the structure of David Hemingson’s script feels extremely uneven. The first act is entirely discardable. In the second act, we encounter the problem with the characters, as only one out of three is actually likable. The third act delivers as a redemption arc for our characters, but by this point, we don’t care for their redemption as we haven’t been able to connect with them in the previous developments.
