The Circle (2017)

Where do I begin?
Tom Hanks movie right? I mean he is all over the advertisements, trailers and posters.
The movie is 1:50 long. In the first 1 hour Tom Hanks is in one 4 minute scene. That's it.
In the next 50 minutes, 3 scenes totaling 8 minutes.
It is not a Tom Hanks film. It is a Emma Watson film. But who would go see that?
Despite the fact the movie has an array of big names and professional crew - the movie is very amatuerish.
It has that "made for TV" feel to it. Emma Watson is not a bad actor, but in this film she is very vanilla. It's like they rushed every scene just to get it over with so they could hurry up and put up the Tom Hanks posters.

It is bad. There is really nothing good about it. I can't think of anything positive to say.

I don’t remember having heard of it in 2017.

Tom Hanks usually picks good projects
I guess he missed on this one.

I saw it showing up from time to time, but never picked it because I thought it was another DaVinci Code movie. Which I didn't like.
We saw it appear again on HBO Max.... watched the trailer and "oh it isn't a DaVinci movie"... it all went down hill from there
