Good Time (2017)
Definitely a good time.
Presentation:
Safdie brothers once again make New York look bustling. With unfaltering pace and rhythm the film sizzles with stressful unending obstacles. Long lenses and grainy footage allows you to get up close and personal to the grit and grime of psychopathic Robert Pattinson.
Conclusion:
It's a Safdie movie, they are establishing a genre of a downward spiral, a snowball rolling down a hill until the final climax. However, this one is not as good as Uncut Gems and doesn't deliver as satisfying of a conclusion. But the ride is frantic and fun and we get to see a great performance from Pattinson. Great if you are fans of their work.
