The film follows Arlis, whose impulsive decision to hire a hitman against his ex-girlfriend Lee spirals into a disturbing chain of events. The performances, particularly from the lead actors, are commendable, with a palpable tension that grips the viewer. Marko's direction is effective in establishing a dark atmosphere, though at times the pacing falters, leading to moments that feel drawn out. The film's themes of obsession and moral ambiguity are thought-provoking, making it a worthwhile watch for those interested in psychological thrillers. However, its graphic violence may alienate some viewers. Overall, Every Single Someone is a flawed yet intriguing exploration of the darker sides of love and revenge. Show less

The story kicks off with a typical break-up and escalates into a murky plot of murder-for-hire that feels forced at times. Arlis, played with a mix of charm and menace, is meant to be the anti-hero, but his motivations come off as weak and unconvincing. The film dives into dark territory, but instead of being thrilling, it feels like a slog through clichés and predictable turns. Some moments are genuinely tense, but they’re overshadowed by a lack of character development and a messy script. If you're looking for a fresh take on revenge stories, you might want to skip this one. It has its moments, but ultimately, it falls flat. Show less
