POPCORN-O-METER= 8.5
Whew! What a movie, Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant with the performances of a lifetime. I’ve never really been the biggest fan of British movies, besides The Bond franchise and some other blockbusters I’ve always found a lot of their regular or low budget movies to be “mehh” but this movie although it’s production cost 22 million dollars so we can’t really call it low budget was excellent. Besides, if you take into consideration the amount of disappointing releases that have had much larger budgets you appreciate the movie more. The actors and acting, the script, directing and all other aspects of the production were great.
Guy Ritchie really did excellent work with the writing of
this script, you don’t really know what to expect as you’re watching. The main
character is implied to have been killed in the first scene so your mind is
like what else is there to see, but as a person who has seen such a thing in
countless movies I knew there was more to it. I don’t want to give too much
information about the movie and I feel this is one of those “see it for
yourself” movies.
Besides the script the best thing about this movie for me
were the actor performances which coincidentally is also one of its flaws, I
feel I need to mention Hugh Grant for a second time Charlie Hunnam who we all
knew was an excellent actor put in a great shift as usual and Henry Golding
should be proud of his performance. Now I want to talk about two more actors
Michelle Dockery was magnificent, would it be wrong to say I’m in love
with her right now? Then lastly Jeremy Strong wasn’t the person for his role I
must say, I wasn’t feeling his performance in his role. He didn’t seem composed
enough and looked like he was “overacting”.
Well I think overall, I doubt anyone would watch this movie and not
be satisfied, the ratings were good but in my opinion they should’ve been
higher especially on Metacritic. This is a movie I wished I’d seen on the big
screen, certainly didn’t regret watching it I’ll probably watch it again.
