classified cinema at my local theater — This was awful and had no redeeming qualities. There was, and I mean this literally because I counted, less than 20 words of dialogue. Somehow it was still the loudest movie I have ever seen. Do not pay money to see this you will be disappointed. Just horrible.

This was solid.

I thought the idea of having barely any dialogue in the movie, less that 30 words in the whole movie, was really good but I just tront think it helped this movie. I think this movie would have been better if they had actual dialogue. There was lots of potential for memorable one liners and emotional scenes but there just isn't any because no one is talking. The whole movie you understand the story and everyone's feelings and stuff but it just has no depth too it because I can't connect to any of the characters.

Kent's death was so surprising and I wasn't expecting it Whatsoever, I thought he was going to be the underdog detective that would prove Johns innocence but he gets killed immediately after his most interesting scene.

The action was really good and there were some fun shots likewise when the was a blood spatter on the camera and a close up on the feet of two people fighting with a knife in the for ground.

The plot was pretty interesting as a whole and I enjoyed it.

The ending was so unexpected as well and I thought it was a decent end to the movie.

Overall, I enjoyed this but I think it would be better it they spoke. The plot, characters, story and interesting 1970's setting was great.

Someone took "show, don't tell" to the heart and another someone approved it. Honestly, it's well-executed.

P. S.: This could count as a musical.

¡Qué mediocridad!

Entiendo el por qué de la película, es una muy buena visión muy mal ejecutada. No me atrapó en ningún momento, se siente forzada y el no tener diálogos hace que escenas pierdan y tengan sentido, un poco contradictorio. A veces está bien ejecutado, pero la mayoría del tiempo el no tener diálogos no funciona. Hace que sea menos interesante.

Es una de las basuritas del año.
