A Bag of Hammers
idk how i feel about this movie because at some points the acting is OUTSTANDING, while other points the acting feels out of touch. at some points it evokes genuine emotion, and other points the story feels distractingly forced. the peaks of it are INCREDIBLE, while the lows aren’t THAT low. the positives do outweigh the negatives in this case and it is definitely worth a watch at the very least 


also it’s the first movie to make me feel the need to write a serious review so likeeeee

When I heard that Johnny Flynn had written the soundtrack for the film, I decided I'd give it a try. I didn't know what I was getting into. The first scene would have you believe that "A Bag of Hammers" is an airy comedy about two immature criminals with little depth. But oh, how wrong that is! Prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster. "A Bag of Hammers', despite being unrealistic in certain aspects, is a gorgeous film. The characters are charming, as well as the story. I haven't stopped thinking about the characters ever since I watched it. The acting, especially in the very emotional parts, is perfectly believable and well-scripted. I found the entire movie, while flawed, to be very enjoyable. And I adore the soundtrack. I'd say it's worth the watch.
