UnowPriceless hyped garbage
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
BatsyCharky Joel Edgerton is one of my favourite actors. I would marry him. I also enjoy Jason Bateman but I HATE him in this movie! He's such a giant evil jerk in this film! Oh my gosh I wanted to punch him! It's a great movie about bullying and revenge and that jerk got what he got what he deserved!
jogibs Behold, the unusual protagonist! So clever, but not very satisfying. I was captivated, but concurrently annoyed. Do watch, but don't hold high expectations above a 5. I LOVE Jason Bateman, and the acting is superb. Have at it while drinking with friends and accomplishing other things, but do have at it!
dodgegirly So slow and so boring. A huge waste of time. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing ever did. Save yourself and don't bother.
Liz Fickenscher When you first start watching this film, you think that Simon is the leading man and Robyn is his leading lady and la de da they move back to Simon's hometown and this guy they run into, "Gordo the Weirdo" is your potential antagonist. And, depending on how you react to the events that occur throughout the course of the movie, you might still think that.I think this film does a great job of flipping traditional hero/anti-hero ideas and typical protagonist/antagonist roles. Joel Edgerton is a gem. I'd seen him in other things (The Great Gatsby, Star Wars Episodes II and III, Kinky Boots) but this role, and knowing that he wrote and directed, as well as starred, knocked my socks off. I'm glad he made this film, and I think it is extremely well done. If you like slow burn psychological thrillers with a whole lot of tension and cringey moments, this is a must-see.
