No backstory, no context, just the flaw. I'll tell you how it's probably already driving your plot behind the scenes, shaping decisions and conflict whether you planned it that way or stumbled into it by instinct.

2/10 Of all the video game adaptations lately, I thought that this one had the most promise. Willa Holland made it easier to get through, but every other narrative and casting decision was bad, bad, bad.

6/10 Joe Keery is great! The choice to put mostly unlikable people in the back seat of his Lyft made it kind of tedious. At least it was short and moved fast.

4/10 (spoiler alert) I suspect that the first draft of this script had a few elements that would have made this more memorable/controversial: the dad hated his gay son and the sheriff was racist, making the boomer killing spree that much more vicious and cruel.

You paddle.
You wait.
You miss waves.
You get knocked down.
You paddle back out.
And every now and then, you see one coming and think: Maybe this one is mine.

I can usually tell which creative role has taken over by the verb in charge. Inventing, arranging and explaining are all useful; asking one paragraph to do all three is less charming.
