When a politically charged dark comedy makes you feel more anxious than most horror movies you’ve ever seen.

When a film feels like a dark comedy version of Gone Girl, and devises a compelling mystery that keeps you engaged, mostly through the performance of Blake Lively, but loses some steam in the third act feeling a bit scattered.

I do a quick review of this film in episode 56 of the Red 7 Movie Cast podcast. Listen and subscribe at www.redsevencast.com/2019/01/01/56-bird-box/.

When a film has so much going on that it could have benefited from a little more focus, but Afleck's grumpy rendition of Batman coupled with awesome cinematography and exciting action set pieces make it a worthwhile ride.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
