    Script was lacking I agree. I find Glazer a bit overrated especially on this site.. UTS and SB are good movies but nothing special...

    Disagree and he barely gets talked about here or elsewhere on the internet

    A history of violence copied the whole structure of this. Not saying Sexy Beast is the originator but that’s what comes to mind

    Retired guy

    Gets a visit from old boss

    Old boss pesters retired guy

    Old boss gets killed by Retired guys family member rather early before 3rd act

    Retired guy gets out of retirement anyways to go do job

    Just sounds like some noir stuff. They must have written every version of every crime plot by 1950

    I'm not a comic guy tbh. The Killer thing that Fincher adapted was pretty good. I stopped short so I wouldn't spoil the film.

    Noir book wise I'd rec Jim Thompson. His stuff is short and snappy and ahead of its time. Pop 1280 is like a Coen Brothers flick. Killer Inside Me is darker. I think there is a comic adaptation of that.

    Facts. The trailer looked kinda meh. It’s basically a prequel to the movie

    Saw this. It's pretty good. An interesting take on the one last job trope. I wasn't into it like that, but Ben Kingsley was a good character subversion. The way that Gal was afraid of having him over makes you think he's a cold b\*\*\*\*\*\*, only to realize that he's a scorned former lover of Jackie lol
    The dialogue was fine. Hyped to high heaven itt, but it was fine. There were other aspects of the movie that I appreciated more than the dialogue (dope camera work, tension near the end, the creative spin on the actual job).

    Overall, solid film. Good stuff.
