It&#8217;s a bonkers film, but it&#8217;s very watchable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also: I&#8217;m much more familiar with San Francisco now, so it was fun to be able to recognize locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Really dumb fake poster for this one (unlike my previous 100% brilliant creations). Whatever.
