R Patts has had a solid resume already. Adding this, The Batman, and Tenet to his plate is just icing on the cake at this point.

I don't know why people aren't realizing this.

Pattinson has been good in everything he's in passed the first Twilight.

The King. Him and Timothy were amazing in it. Also on Netflix

still need to watch this

eh, it was alright. performances were good, esp from pattinson, holland, and skarsgard, but the characters themselves seemed half baked

narration was also lame

What’s with the negative reviews on this? I thought it was pretty good. The story pulled me in and the performances were great. Good stuff.

Ima watch today just cause I believe in anything Pattinson does

the novelist was also the narrator

is that why he was so opinionated?

haha imagine if Freeman actually narrated this

After seeing the finished product, Pollock wondered why they didn’t choose a more polished voice for the film, like Morgan Freeman. Still, he’s impressed with what the filmmakers have accomplished.

It’s not a bad movie, performances are great with Holland and Pattison as highlights, Skarsgard is good as well.

The biggest drawback from me personally is that the story felt very bare, like i’m sure it works nice in a book format but it’s just haven’t got the right time to probably explore the events unfolding and it’s just meshes together instead of blending dynamically.

Fx the end showdown felt lackluster to me compared to the church scene where you can feel tension arise because that’s a pretty straightforward story arc with a build up between characters but the end have multiple story ends that feels like they concidentally lines up without really furthering the story much by the end of it.

feel like this would’ve worked better as a miniseries with 4/5 episodes, too many pieces were compressed into a two hour movie and that way they could do without the narration

This definitely crossed my mind given just how much there is, but I think it was edited and shot like a movie. It was just long. Maybe cut out some of the cop's storyline to condense it.

3/5
Review here.

sounded like Billy Bob Thornton lol

you know...I didn't think about the Place Behind the Pines comparison but you're absolutely right

Dude's trying to get people to shut tf up with their worries about him being Batman

And it's working.

watching this tomorrow

i have high hopes

This movie is like Place Beyond the Pines' satanic cousin

Gonna get into this shortly

Pattinson all through the 20s

Eh.

Tom a professional shooter all of a sudden lol

this was some mid, cast deserved better

after thinking about it some more this reminded me a lot of true detective
