2 - wholly unforgettable. This wasn’t thrilling, it wasn’t even that intriguing.
There was no character development that made me actually interested in any of the Stillwater Seven. I wasn’t sad for the death, I wasn’t worried about any of them surviving, and I wasn’t excited at the end to see the main 2 get together. Everything was tied in a little bow at the end, but it wasn’t unsatisfying.
The trolley problem was described at length multiple times, and then summarized multiple other times, as if the audience was too dumb to understand one of the most used queries of philosophy. And then it all didn’t really matter in the end.

Reminds me too much of Glass Onion. I even looked it up to make sure it wasn’t the same. I got to the part about kidnapping the board members and I just couldn’t continue. The story is too manufactured with a plot that literally will and could never happen. Even the group resembles Friends too much. The author even says that in the book. It should be funny, but it’s not.

Somehow boring and overcomplicated at the same time. Also, I still don't understand the motive.
