And spite turns out to be a major driving factor of many of they key actions in the film.

I came out unsure whether the sound improved as the film went on, or if I was just gradually tuning in to it.  The early RDJ scenes were a real struggle but after that I thought the sound was fine.

I think right there is exactly TF kind of story Lena f’ing Dunham can make out of Polly f’ing Pocket.
