What makes me laugh about some of the reviewers here


Hello

Some of the reviewers here really do want Pacino to come out with a machine gun and say

"Say hello, to my little friend"

I mean it's beyond pathetic to hilarious.

There are comments here like "oh it's not edgy enough" and "Pacino should be ashamed of himself", like we're still in the seventies and eighties where they had run out of ideas and needed more drug induced, nudity fueled nonsense in every single film, just so that some people would say "man, yeah, that *beep* was real man...!!"

Well, I'll tell you what is real. No drama. People don't like drama. Even super rich movie and singing stars. Drama is just worrying, tension and anxiety. It's just not what you will find in most people's lives.

Think about that.

This is a great movie. The acting is brilliant. The direction is just on point and the pace is great. I am saying this as someone who has kind of fast forwarded a lot of films recently and I felt no need to fast forward this at all at any point. It's not that I didn't enjoy the other films. I just felt there were points in those films where, I could do with saving time so I could maybe do something else instead.

With this film I just wanted to watch it.

If you want edgy, make sure the film has an 18 certificate for that kind of edgy. This film was edgy enough. Being high on drugs, struggling with loneliness and cancer is edgy. Far more edgier than testosterone fueled insecure nut jobs wanting to sell drugs in some weird gangsta rap delusional wonderland.

Thank You

the 70's is arguably the greatest decade in film history

All decades are arguable the greatest decades in film history. That's just what arguments are for.
