It’s a good word for summing up complete apathy towards something. Gotta move language on with the times. Whilst I am certain this is a film, I feel there’s little more to say about it.

I too hate the word, but I agree that in this case it's justified. I can't think of another film in recent times I felt so little about, be that negative or positive. The sole exception being the dog. The dog is cute and it solves the case.

I still think you can very much write what didn't work in this film, like it's lack of character development, didacticism regarding politics and race, it's absolute lack of tension (which is even more egregious considering the film was advertised as a female led heist film), and it being the most cinematically boring film McQueen ever made (minus a few shots here and there).
