Predictable with plot holes
About a third of the way into this movie, I started sensing plot holes and continuously kept asking myself "but what about "enter plot hole here".
I kept hoping it would get all wrapped up like a box in the end; however there were just more and more questions left unanswered---most importantly--what story were they going to use? It's as if there is no such thing as forensic evidence. We have a one bad guy dead shot from a rifle 50 yards away through the window, an on duty cop dead, along with his known, dirty cop dad (who as off duty) dead by being bludgeoned to death, another guy with a slit through in the cooler, a waitress with everyone's blood on them, and never mind a dead guy in the back of his car with dead cops gun with him. No way is the Lottery Commission going to release the money and the cops not have a million questions.
I wouldn't have continued to watch it if I was along. - SnoopyStyle - 7 January 2024
loses me with the cops
Drug dealer Sterling (Angus Cloud) gets rolled. He is one of the patrons in a convenience store when a customer discovers that he won the $156 million lottery jackpot. Sterling decides to steal the ticket and all heck brings loose.
I don't watch Euphoria, but I do remember Angus Cloud's death. There is a powerful unstable energy about him. He is very cinematic and magnetic. I completely buy his impulsiveness and recklessness. He also has an endearing quality and is able maintain the rooting interest. I like the first half. Sterling has no plan with the robbery and the story flows from that. I assume that the rest of the people are partly playing Sterling to stay alive. Whatever plans they come up with is to appease Sterling. That part works. The problem is that there is no perfect crime in this after the messy killing. That doesn't matter since Sterling is not the sharpest mind. The crooked cops are a big problem. They would never get away with it. Sterling can have no plan. If the cops have no good plan, then the movie suffers and it's bad writing. This is half-good. The second half loses me.
