Well there's only a few threads on this film so far, and yet so much negative crap written already. So I feel duty bound to defend it.
This was a well-acted and confidently told tale. You somehow know from the outset that everything you've seen, short flashbacks included, will pull together into a satisfying conclusion.
I've seen some terrible films lately, and that may have influenced my rating of this. But I've gone 8/10.
I think it wasn't too bad either. Nothing very special but at least an interesting story. Very predictable though which knocks marks off.
shareJust finished watching...it was ok. I've seen much worse in big budget movies.
So yeah, it's ok.
It was horriblle.
Awful, it cheated me of time.
I really liked it also. I thought it was pretty cool that all the stuff the kids did related directly to his wife which lead to the eventual outcome for The Good Neighbor James Caan.
shareIt was a good film
shareWhat I liked about this film (among other things), was that everyone's dialogue seemed natural and genuine. Everyone said the things that they would have said IRL. It didn't seem scripted. I mean this in the 'good writing' sense, not in the 'let's make a super-self-conscious-faux-normal-seeming-film'...
I really appreciate well-written (and decently acted) dialogue in a film.
I just watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a much sadder ending than I thought it would. I was hoping Ethan would be the one ending up shot.
Mr. Grady, you were the caretaker here.
