Good Time (2017)

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Best movie ever!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Quick and to the point, Good Time exceeded my expectations. The acting, (especially Rob Pattinson's), direction by the Safdie Brothers, and soundtrack all came together to create a masterpiece. It's not a regular type of film, which might be why some people don't enjoy it. It was raw, edgy, and intense. The movie pulls you in and leaves you wondering what to do once its over. I can't wait to see what Josh and Benny Safdie will come out with next!

The emphatic entrance of Robert Pattinson's character minutes into the movie signaled two things:1. The former Twilight actor is not messing around in an attempt to reinvent himself from the pretty boy typecast. Pattinson delivers the best performance of 2017 as the gritty anti-hero Connie, and you get the feeling this entrance will one day be remembered as the pivotal moment of his career.2. The title of this heist thriller is no misnomer. From this moment on, we are flung into an unrelenting adrenaline ride that hasn't felt so exhilarating since 2015's Fury Road.It's hard not to recall the late film critic Manny Farber's coined term "Termite Art" when describing the dramatic depth here. Farber argued that true glory of American cinema is not found in high-minded message pictures like To Kill a Mockingbird or Schindler's List, but rather in B-movies and genre pictures where the artistry is hidden within the entertainment. Good Time provides thorough entertainment throughout, but it also stays in your mind long past viewing, with little termites eating at you with questions regarding the American handling of penal system, poverty, privilege, and mental health. The overarching theme of the movie is destructive love, and above all begs the question, can you truly love someone despite not having the right kind of love to give them?

I've never seen a movie quite like this one. The pacing and the editing and score in particular are very original and intense. The film has a relentless pace and always keeps you engaged. I can't be bothered writing a longer review, but if you're a film buff and want to see something fresh, you need to see this film.

This movie is such a masterpiece from everything from acting, characters, writing editing, cinematography etc. alot of stuff in this movie is perfect especialy if i am typing about acting Robert Pattinson was robbed out of oscar he deserved a oscar nom and also james franco . Not only robert pattinson was perfect everone was perfect even the friend of Ray Khaliph was such a great character even if he was like maybe 5 mins in the movie. And benny safdie made me believe that he was realy mentaly challenged. Plot is basicaly a wild ride its just a brother who wants to break out his brother from prison story but thing is this story has more layers and in the end even the main character realizes that(spoilers cant talk about that anymore).Direction is very different style and you might not see it in alot of movies but it works with this movies tone and pace and also to note that pacing in this movie is perfect no single scene dragged on its just a perfect length every scene. I dont like writing alot but one more thing i should compliment is soundtrack in this movie. Recommended
