Two brothers team up to rob banks in Texas. Their plan is to raise money to payoff deceased parent’s ranch which is about to be foreclosed on. Stars Jeff Bridges as the local ranger bent on capturing them.
Verdict: Not bad. Kept my attention. Script nothing exceptional,but better than most. The director, David Mackenize, has a nice sense of style. Written by Taylor Sheridan, who also wrote Wind River, which might be worth checking out.
Watching it right now. Starring Ryan Gosling, mister handsome who starred in that piece of crap La-La Land. Also starring Michelle Williams who was not in that piece of shit, but was in the fabulous Manchester by the Sea.
So far my kind of movie, dark and depressing.
Directed by Derek Cainfrance. Never heard of him. He also wrote it with some other guys I’ve never heard of.
Ok, the movie is well done. and i have to say Gosling is good, makes the character real. He’s too handsome for me to like though.
The character might be a flawed. First, the dialog seems to be too intelligent for his character, a blue-collar, alcoholic who plays the ukulele. The same, to a lessor extent, is true of Williams’ character.
The scene were she dances while plays ukulele in the street is charming. Also breaks up the monotony of the marriage desolution, which seems to be going on for fucking ever.
I like it, but it’s just too much one note, over and over, the marriage going down the shitter. Needs something more. Maybe should have focused more on when they were happy.
It’s also too long. Woody Allen was right, a movie should be an hour and a half.
It finally ended. All I can really say is glad it’s over.
Why the fuck is that piece of shit so popular? I really think part of it is just political correctness. Black stars, woman heroes, gotta be great, right.
Part of it is me though. I focus on acting, dialog, the writing. I think people that like these movies focus on the action, and more seriously, the more big-picture mythological aspect, which I don’t pay attention to.
Anyway, I still think it sucked major ass.
