This Spider-Man spin-off is entertaining—the action sequences hold together, blood gushes frequently, and Aaron Taylor Johnson dons a midriff-baring costume. But it's also convoluted and full of extraneous characters.
Packed with profanity, anguished sexuality, and high-decibel meltdowns, 'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea' has been drama department fodder since its 1983 debut. Only this time, the acting students are Hollywood stars Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott.
