Netflix’s “Wounds” is 5% intrigue and 95% a waste of a talented cast. It starts out well enough then quickly degenerates into a confusing mess. Armie Hammer is good as always, but he doesn’t have much to work with. He plays a bartender who finds his life spin out of control when he finds a cell phone with disturbing messages and photos on it. This is the 5% intrigue I was referring to. And I admit: I really wanted to see where this story was going. Unfortunately, nothing makes sense here, and the movie never truly gives you the answers you’re looking for. In fact, it raises more questions than it answers, leaving you with a sense that you’ve just wasted your time on yet another terrible Netflix movie. You’ve been warned.
