The script for Bosch feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.
“Two thumbs down from hell.”

Even the popcorn looked bored during Bosch.

Bosch confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Counted the jumpscares in Bosch. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.

The cinematography in Bosch is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Bosch and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Bosch?
Honestly, Bosch would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Bosch actually is?
Everyone praising the Bosch performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
