Hear why in this short, spoiler-free review of the Florence Pugh-led mystery/thriller.

It's time for our egos to write some checks that our bodies can't cash. Wait... no we can do better. I've got the need, the need for speed! No, that doesn't feel right either.

Anyway, it's deja vu all over again as TJ dives into the Tom Cruise-led mega sequel that has finally released for hungry audiences. The similarities are obvious, but is that a bad thing?
