What’s Good: Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s on-screen charisma remains unmatched, carrying the entire film.

While Clooney brings his A-game, Pitt seems to coast on the persona he’s built over the years—a tamer, laid-back version of Tyler Durden.

Surprisingly, Austin Abrams steals the show. His performance outshines both veterans, and his energy is infectious, even though the script doesn’t always match his level of enthusiasm.
