A hard boiled film noir mystery with a high school twist, Rian Johnson’s debut is a slick slow burn, dialogue heavy but very well written
Excellent mystery thriller drama movie, great cast and acting with a fascinating story. Well worth watching
Super smartly written, awesome cast really showing their range and impressive bold camera work. This director’s gonna be big time one day.
Rian Johnson should stick to his murder mysteries rather than ruining Star Wars.
It turns a small budget and kinda gimmicky premise into a fantastic, memorable neo-noir.
Neo-noir murder mystery, very edgy but done in a good way, a little bit of a slow burn
A complex film noir take on a suburban town and the local high school. Fun and unexpected.
Amazing modern-day film noir. Cast is incredible, story and cinematography is much much appreciated.
Entertaining and enjoyable. Good acting and a good time. A bit too slow at times and it knocks away at the enjoyment
Clever and stylish, Rian Johnson’s cool debut is also incredibly ironic in its homage to classic noir filmmaking.
