For that reason, I had some really awesome moments while watching Companion that I don&#8217;t think would have been the same had I known.

There&#8217;s some predictability, but there&#8217;s enough subversion of expectations that I never felt like I really knew what was going to happen. Actor&#8217;s performances are across the board pretty good, although I&#8217;m finding myself liking Jack Quaid less, I don&#8217;t really know why. Maybe because he&#8217;s just playing himself in everything, but it&#8217;s good to at least see him in a kind of a fresh-er role.  I&#8217;m also glad that Sophie Thatcher seems to be embracing genre film roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-header-background-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eab13aac8f45dba990d8f9e52d04c915\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-header-background-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eab13aac8f45dba990d8f9e52d04c915\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size nfd-wb-animate nfd-wb-fade-in-bottom wp-elements-f17e7d6ee464cc5df03e391d34326633\"><strong>4 out of 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8e6428f8628012c6c1a94eb2246a6912\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt26584495\/\">Companion  on IMDB<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignfull has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vgk.rpg.temporary.site\/website_0593dac7\/\">Back to Home<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strangely enough, I didn&#8217;t know what the premise for this movie was going into it (despite literally all the marketing).
