Every single film-noir cliche is in this movie. If you're familiar with the genre, you'll immediately recognize and predict every story beat.
[spoiler]The majority of Nick's monologues was used as opportunities to soapbox about climate change, socioeconomical inequality and segregation, instead of how he views himself living in that world.[/spoiler]

Hugh Jack(ed)man was completely wrong for the part IMO, both physically and with his performance. [spoiler]I just didn't buy the whole "PTSD-riddled, handicapped veteran, working as a smooth-talking, empathic hypnotist, in a black suit" package when he plays him so blandly. Was the role supposed to go to Keanu Reeves? Because the character is 80% Constantine already and Keanu would've done a better job. He also looked so out-of-place compared to how everyone else was dressed and behaved. And how the hell does he stay so jacked if he's supposed to sleep all-day and work with clients or "reminisce" all-night? At least write him as a fitness junkie that swims for hours every day, while monologuing. That would've also tied-in with the overabundance of underwater scenes.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]The use of a literary reference, in this case of Orpheus & Eurydice, as well as the use of a motto ("don't look back"), is so characteristic of Joy's writing, it almost becomes cringe-inducing. However, I was annoyed that she switched Hades/Pluto for "the Devil"...[/spoiler]
