One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I cannot get my 2 hours back. Dumb. Stupid. Do not waste your money. Was it a supposed to be a comedy, drama or mystery? They hit the marks on all parts. I’m still trying to process the stupidity.
Lovely movie! Very clever, both emotionally and intellectually. Characters and acting were strong. Feel-good movie. Thoughtful. Relevant. ❤️ thanks
Metacritic
I take no vicious pleasure in saying that Poolman, a movie that Pine co-wrote, directed, and stars in, is not only the worst film I saw during the fall festival season but would likely be one of the worst films in any year it came out.
Poolman is an unfunny spoof of neo-noir thrillers with hazy direction, even messier storytelling, and unbearable dialogue.
While Pine is undeniably a charismatic actor, that likability can only generate so much audience good will in a production overstuffed with cartoonish caricatures lacking any sort of deeper connective tissue.
