I saw the movie from Hedeo Kojima’s post and this movie builds unease through realistic characters and a grounded sense of danger absolute perfection that’s dope tho it restrained direction makes the suspense feel timeless like you’re in a loop and unsettling

this would’ve been so much better if it was shorter and also took place during the super bowl. literally ¾ of the movie didn’t have to happen

Tbh I wish more movies with batshit insane plot and stunts were made more, with the exception of Mission: Impossible. Because using a blimp as a bomb to blow up at the Super Bowl is fucking awesome. The acting in this are really great, stunts were also great as mentioned. The third act of actually having the actors there AT THE ACTUAL SUPER BOWL is also insane and damn near perfectly directed. Also blimp chase goes hard, shoutout Goodyear are actually using their real blimps for this. The only downside I see is that I wish the entire movie revolved around the game itself.

Rating: high 8/10
Ranking: #390/1,684

389 - 127 Hours (2010)
