Catfight (2017)

I used to be just so impressed with Netflix's recommendation algorithm. Now, however, it's completely broken and I've got the proof since this movie was presented to me as a 98% match (whatever the hell that means).

Veronica (Sandra Oh) and Ashley (Anne Heche) were frenemies in college. Now in their 40s, Veronica's a perpetually soused trophy wife while Ashley's a struggling artist. When they run into each other by chance, their irritation with their lives in general bubbles over and they wind up beating the crap out of each other. Though Ashley doesn't directly cause it, Veronica winds up in a two-year coma that robs her of her family and money while Ashley has since become extremely successful.

They meet again... beat each other brutally (a hammer and wrench are employed this time)... and -- though Veronica doesn't directly cause it -- Ashley winds up in a two-year coma that robs her of her family and money while Veronica has since found peace living in the country.

They meet again...ugh. I hate gratuitous violence. I really really hate hammers as a weapon. This movie was thin and lazy and unfunny and unsurprising. What were Oh and Heche thinking?
