Tuner: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

Unpopular opinion: Tuner is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Tuner would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Tuner's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Tuner performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Tuner actually is?
Director clearly thought Tuner was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Tuner?
Rewatched Tuner last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
