Not as good as the first, it’s directed slightly worse and lacks that descent into madness that the first one has through its nightmarish dreamlike existential direction. Paddy Considine is great though as expected and Sean Harris is right dirty bastard!

Somehow very different from the first one (not only because the story is too different), this one felt like an episode of Touch of cloth the British modern police show parody (hilarious and really good btw), but for a serious movie this isn’t a compliment.

Ffs these are all gonna be miserable, aren’t they 🫩
Somewhat prefer this to the first, if only because it mainly gets depressing towards the end rather than early on 😂

Even with Paddy Considine’s best efforts in the lead and a story that pays off in the end I’m sad to say this was a pretty significant step down for me. One of my biggest issues is with the way this story was paced, really nothing in the story progresses until less than twenty minutes in the runtime and even though I loved those last twenty and what they did with the story I can’t get past how much of this was empty. Even while considering the story’s faults they doesn’t compare to my biggest gripe with the movie, I rarely struggle with this alley of filmmaking so when I do I know it’s really bad, the editing here has some very rough stretches where it’s some of the worst I’ve ever seen in a 21st century film and others where its on the same level of the first, it made for a very weird and confusing experience overall. So much of it is cut roughly and doesn’t allow for the cinematography to shine which was one of my favorite things about the first movie, that technical piece of this struggling was the biggest letdown out of everything here. There is still a lot to enjoy though, I don’t want this to be a negative review because I’m still giving it a 3, the script is the same quality as the first and even though Garfield is sorely missed I loved Paddy and I’m glad Sean Harris became more of a central character because he was sparingly used in the first and that disappointed me a bit. The dark atmosphere is also toned down in this one but it’s still reminiscently there, the final twenty minutes really brought it back for me and give me a willpower to watch the final one tonight that I was worried I wouldn’t have as this went on. All in all it’s not great but it’s still a mystery thriller that comes with a decent pay-off, solid writing, and a great cast, I have no clue where the story could go from here so I’m as intrigued as I am excited to cap off this trilogy.
