Disappointing all round. Colman and Cumberbatch come across as cold and charmless, and their sarcastic banter quickly becomes tiresome. There's no chemistry between them, and even the flashback to their 'first date' is wooden and unconvincing. As the plot unfolds, Colman's character becomes full-on nasty. Lots of F-bombs and C-bombs are dropped, for example during a dinner-party scene, presumably for comedic effect, but it's a cheap play. Maybe with different characters this film would have worked? Who knows.
