Review:
Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
  • This is a great concept that is crushed under its own weight. While I haven't read the source material, the movie feels like a lot of information was compacted and edited to fit into the allotted run time. Any introspection is completely absent as the characters never really consider what they could do with or the ramifications from this notebook. The quirky detective doesn't translate well to reality.
Read my full review.
