Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Passenger (2023)

Randy is a sheltered and shy kid, making him an easy target for a bully at his fast food job. Benson, another co-worker, is fed up with the bullying and takes care of the situation in the most over-the-top way possible. The rest of the pair's day is spent driving around town with Benson forcing Randy into exposure therapy-type situations confronting traumas from the past.

It starts off with such a bang -- I mean, there's nothing I love more than seeing an asshole get his come-uppance -- but that's where the excitement stops. It quickly becomes ridiculous and frustrating.
