I came into this with no expectations except finding some thriller / horror movie good enough for a late night watch. Jeez, I was fully engaged after only a few minutes in, and this movie kept me entertained till its very end. THIS is how you do it ! I mean, the film is something between a lot of genre... B-movie with suspense, horror, comedy... And it does well at everything ! Camera work is excellent, the story is quite simple but the way it's narrated is brilliant, actors are all pretty great and I got to tell, Ben O'Toole steals every scene... Damn, I really hope he gets bigger projects in the next years cause he definitely deserve big roles ! Well watch it for yourself, it was a pleasant surprise for me.
Hell yeah, what's not to like in here? I have read some reviewers saying it was too long, I have to disagree with that... the character developement is amazing, the atmosphere is kept strong the whole time, there's nothing needed to be removed. If you've seen some other Zahler's stuff you know you're going to deal with pretty dark ambiances and sometimes intense graphic violence, but if you're OK with it, you'll have a pleasant ride. Speaking about violence nothing feels free here, it's raw and tense, obviously, but contrary on Winding Refn or Tarentino, you don't get that exagerated feeling. A solid dark heist movie which I enjoyed almost as well as Heat from Michael Mann.
Came here for Charlie Tahan as Im a big fan since Ozark, without expecting much about the movie. Turned out to be quite entertaining with some good laughs here and there. Simple movie about life, and our abilities to make decisions / take actions, pictured in a college where Michael (Charlie) seems to get as stuck in real life as he is in the night bus he's driving every night on a loop, to bring back drunk college kids from parties to their places.
Good acting, likeable characters, and very funny moments. This movie put a big smile on my face.
