OME films are made from screenplays that have gone through multiple drafts, a sign of a thoughtful pursuit for perfection. Some films make it very apparent that they are made from a careless, scribbled-out first draft.Venom: The Last Dance is peculiar in the way that it somehow precedes a first draft.
