good time is one of my favorite movies ever. watching this scratches the same itch. i was pissed to hear the safdies broke up, but josh can carry the torch on his own clearly.
a strong lead charecter who is charestmatic, street smart, and manipulative to the rules of the world just hustling their way through life. digging themselves deeper and deeper taking on more and more risk. it combines that with witty dialogue, classic safdie quick pace, tight and clostraphobic shots, and a soundtrack that feels retro and new at the same time from the legendary Oneohtrix Point Never (who released this on spotify under his real name for some reason?). the formula hits.
i do agree i didn’t love the ending. i love that it was not predictable, but it just was not close to satisfying the 2 hours of tension built up so well.
i do wanna see something new from safdie eventually, but for now this kind of movie keeps me on my seat in a way few others do. it’s unique, it’s refreshing, it feels nothing like hollywood marvel slop. i’ll keep showing up.
