What's this?
I'm a bit late to comment...but no mention of one of the most cringeworthy sex scenes I've seen in mainstream cinema?
I mean, there are some pretty bad ones, but a painfully dragged out closeup of suited-up Night Owl's sweaty arse gyrating slowly to Hallelujah (previously a beloved song of mine) was harrowing, to say the least.
And that's skimming over Malin Akerman's hilarious expressions of what I can only assume to be silent screams of abject horror.
