I totally agree with you and I also think its underrated because it a rather low stakes story.
Great scene. I was very anxious and the suspense was high.
Well not just that but you have to respect the amount of time and effort and attention to detail required to bring a 1960's Hollywood to life. And other than that it was a good original story, the acting was great, the photography was great and it was just all around world class film making. I get that the story seems rather small in contrast to other QT films and some may be disappointing with that, like whats the point? But in terms of his other films this one reminds me alot of Jackie Brown which was also a rather small story and by that I mean the stakes are not really that high. I also am a really big fan of Jackie Brown which alot of people are not. Honestly I did not expect to like this film as much as I did.
Patriot Games not so much but I feel like this is just a notch below THFRO.
Yeah I am with ya. A few of those moments.
Yeah, I agree, it was so obvious.
No way its better than The Departed. No way bro. Its so long, its so boring. Great characters and production and cinematography but it drags.
Yeah so. I aint seeing it. The trailers look lame. Its got a great cast but actors are whores. Other than Looper I dont really like his stuff.
I totally agree and they spent a lot of money on it too. Studio didnt like it and wanted to get right into the action and a shorter cut. Can you imagine? Its Michael Fucking Mann.
Yeah what was that all about I didnt get it...
I know but it looked amazing. And on the opposite end of the spectrum was the casino scene, ugh.
Lol, so true. I had the same problem.
I think at very least they could have released around Halloween. I still dont understand why they didnt, definitely would have made more in that time-frame.
Yeah its stupid.
Its definitely worth a watch. Not great but it will keep you interested.
OK did you see Captive State?
Check out Equilibrium, thats a good dystopian flick.
The trailer looks horrible, the concept is ridiculous. Might be good for some laughs in a... Really? WTF? Thats so stupid kinda way. Meanwhile The Mandalorian looks amazing. If I am picking between 2 new sub services gotta go Disney+, no brainer.
I agree. The editing is a 10. Its not a perfect film, some weak spots, but overall I gave 9/10.
Also 1917 looks amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqNYrYUiMfg
