Lewis Pullman is the best actor in this movie. In every single scene in this movie, he shines. He has very expressive eyes. His acting is the best part of this movie. There are moments in this movie where it looks like it's a good movie but the exact moment Chris Hemsworth`s character shows up at EL Royale the movie goes to shit!! Every scene of...
