Found it condescending and smug...which is understandable since it stars George Clooney.

maybe it's just my personal sensibilities, but it was knocking who Clooney's character was as a person. Sure he was professional and good at his job, but he was the black sheep of his family, his "apartment" was depressing, he had no friends, his one love interest was just using him for sex. The end of the movie, he's achieved his goal and has nothing to show for it. i know it's not that depressing of an ending, but he's staring at the bleakness that is his future.

It was a lot like Get Out. The smug elites loved it, but i don't know that they understood it was talking about them.
