Well-cast thriller, great performances, a bit small-scale but still very good
I love thrillers where the narrator is unreliable. Nothing too special but great cast
Really slow but gets good at the end and I loved the cast
Little hidden gem with some good performances ending felt a bit rushed however
Interesting plot and characters, with a fantastic performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Whoever has the money has the power. This is an incredibly underrated movie. It may take a while to get going, but when it does it’s amazing
A slealthy neo-noir that ushers you along with razor-sharp writing and character development.
Some stylish filmmaking but a lot of other aspects of the movie are bland and forgettable
It’s a bit of a slow burn but the acting and characters made it a really compelling movie.
One if the first Gordon-Levitt's films I've seen and I was amazed by his talent.
