A masterclass in filmmaking from Bong Joon-ho. After this rewatch, I think this is definitely his best work and one of the best mystery thrillers ever made. Gripping from the first frame to the last, with an atmosphere so eerie and immersive it never lets up. Gorgeous cinematography and a brilliant score. The ending delivers one of the best final shots you'll ever see. Song Kang-ho gives an all-time performance. Every aspect of this film is just perfect. Easily up there…

A perfect masterpiece. I don’t think movies can get much better than this. Just an absolute masterclass in filmmaking from Michael Mann. The balance between deep emotional character moments and intense action is executed to perfection. Not many people can deliver a perfect action movie and also have such interesting and well-written characters. But Mann is one of a kind. Every second of this movie is handled with such care from him, that you just can't not fall in love…

No surprise at all that I loved this one as well. McQuarrie and Cruise delivered again. I think this one pays homage to De Palma in a lot of ways, because it feels closest to the original in of just the overall vibe of it. Especially in that first hour. The pacing is fantastic as well. 2 hours and 40 minutes fly by.

The cast continues to be fantastic. There are not many franchises that can consistently add new…

Holy shit I just witnessed peak.

In absolute awe of this one. Stunning cinematography. The best looking in the whole franchise. More crazy stunts by Tom Cruise. The man is so goated, like how does he keep pulling this stuff off? The halo jump and the helicopter fight with the expanded aspect ratio had me levitating. The exchange scene with the brilliant score playing is amazing. Another awesome motorcycle chase. The roof jump. The bathroom fight. I mean I could…

Edit: I was wrong guys this movie is fucking awesome!

This is a solid film, just not one that ever quite crossed the line into being great for me. There’s a lot to ire here. The performances are great, the cinematography is stunning, and it is full of brilliant music. There are moments where it truly shines, especially Sammie’s performance scene, which is easily my favorite part of the entire film. That said, the film as a whole never fully clicked…
