You can watch the trailer below, to get a sense of what you're in for, and trust me, there will still be plenty of surprises when watching the movie itself. But I highly, highly recommend skipping it, and going into this thing as cold as possible. In fact, don't even let the trailer autoplay before selecting "play" on the app.
Because Sharper is so damn good, so unique, such a roller coaster, and the most fun I've had watching a movie in months. (Though I wouldn't necessarily qualify it as a "fun" movie, per se, as it's definitely a drama - or, rather, a "neo-noir psychological crime thriller.") That, and the trailer gives away a couple of the more minor surprises, one of which you'll immediately regret.
Either way, I don't understand how more critics aren't raving about it, or why it's not all over social media. It probably has something to do with releasing the same weekend as Ant-Man, but it's by far the better of the two. It's almost like a modern day, buttoned up, New-York-set Wild Things in terms of twists, turns, and reveals (sans a Denise Richards/Neve Campbell make out scene, unfortunately). I'd say it has some slight Focus vibes as well. Yes, there are a couple minor "plot holes" (if you could even call them that), and I'm sure people will find certain motivations to question, but I didn't care about any of that, due to how incredibly well-crafted this thing is. Not to mention, it has some of the best cinematography I've seen since The Batman, and features a subtly great soundtrack as well.
Seriously, watch this movie.
