Hoping to prove there’s life outside of the Marvel Universe, the Russo Brothers decided to branch out (and take Tom Holland with them) to make a dead-serious drama about a young vet who becomes a junkie. Save for Holland’s raw performance, it’s an unfortunate misfire, as the Russos try too hard to prove they’re auteurs—unnecessarily artsy camera shots and a way-too-long runtime (2:21) help turn this thing into a bleak, tiresome failure.
