I went into Cobweb knowing nothing about it. It's the kind of movie that benefits from that strategy more than most. I had no idea what to expect. It made the process of going through the story that much more enjoyable.
This movie is awesome but also flawed. It's cool and different but sometimes generic. It subverts tropes but is sometimes tropey. For me, the good far outweighs the bad and I had a great time watching it. Every direction it takes made me happy.
I enjoyed Lizzy Caplan's performance. And I'm glad Antony Starr finally landed a leading movie role. He's so underrated and always does an amazing job. His screen presence elevates everything. I feel it here the same way I do when I watch Banshee and The Boys. Give him more roles, please!
I wonder why I had never heard of this until now. I saw a poster for it this past Wednesday and assumed it would be coming out in a month or so. I had no idea it came out this weekend. Why no marketing? So many people will miss this. And why in the world would you release it on the same weekend as the two most hyped movies of the summer? Hopefully word of mouth makes up for poor strategy.
