This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Of the three versions I watched this week, I love the way this one in particular handles the ending, cutting to black right after Greenwald throws his drink in Keefer’s face.
There’s always some risk in transposing the material, but I think Friedkin did it beautifully by making Queeg someone with severe PTSD who served in the aftermath of 9/11. Despite being a cranky, irritable man, his anxiety and fear are always barely hidden beneath the surface before exploding forth…
there’s a brief moment where Mahito is being led to his room and they an old man sitting on the stairs who does a little wave. It’s the only moment he’s in the movie and I think about him often.
not sure if anyone’s pointed this out but Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney are very attractive people
we watched the English dub last night and while Pattinson’s obviously killing it, Florence Pugh was the stealth MVP for me this time around.
“I’m really lucky to have you as a son” = instant tears
really solid! surprisingly great late-period Pacino. if i had a nickel for every movie Keaton’s directed about a hitman in crisis, i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but weird that it happened twice.
you guys were right, great movies. is Keanu a modern day Buster Keaton?
Shakespeare Rom Coms will always hit! Need a million of these! Glen Powell!!!
Had a lot of fun with this, my only problem was the two leads. Every ing member of the cast ABSOLUTELY killed it, including The Sewer Boys.
