movie review - Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2018.09.14

This is a story about an LA detective who works magic in the field but stumbles in dealing with his own affairs. That's not much of a premise and the film doesn't add up to much as we endure the unlikeable main character's plodding path through this thing.

Not recommended. Which is a shame, because I somehow imagined from the clip on Netflix that it could work. The cast seemed engaging. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
