No Country for Old Men...Javier Bardem and that laughable pageboy haircut. The movie is fucking great tho.
Really? why? too slow?Hell or High Water
Horrible movie
2/10
It had a great premise and I like all three of the main actors, but the writing was completely linear and predictable. The setting was depressing, "For Sale", "Foreclosure", "Out of Business" signs plastered throughout the whole movie constantly reminding you this place is shitty and everyone's poor. Way too slow, it didn't get going until 45 minutes in and even then the action wasn't anything very memorable. A few bank robberies and a lot of talking.Really? why? too slow?

Good idea, very poorly executed with an anticlimactic ending you can see coming a mile away

God, I can't stop watching that movie.No Country for Old Men...Javier Bardem and that laughable pageboy haircut. The movie is fucking great tho.
Saw this Friday and loved it as well, Thought Gibson handled the story well also. Just curious: why did you hate Dos's character at first? As an aside, I thought nothing could top private ryan for battle scenes but this is just as compelling. Dif. perspective than private ryan but same intensity.Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
Awesome movie! 4.5/5
The acting in this movie was fantastic all around! Andrew Garfield's performance might win him an oscar next year, Vince Vaughn stood out and stole the show, almost every scene he was in was laugh out loud funny or respectfully understanding as the Drill Sergeant training Desmond Doss to fight in WW2. Teresa Palmer also gives a great performance, I thought she was amazing at expressing emotion, Hugo Weaving tops the cast off with Sam Worthington who both give stand up performances as Doss' alcoholic WW1 veteran father who condemns his decision to enlist and as Doss' company commander who initially doesn't accept his conscientious objector beliefs, but is later shown first hand his bravery and heroism in action. Luke Bracey gives another great performance as Smitty, the character development and relationship over the course of the first hour or so of the movie between him and Doss is awesome. I've never gone from hating a character so much to loving one so much during watching a movie. Never seen character development take place so fast and so convincingly.
The only gripe I had about the movie was that the action scenes and the effects didn't look 100% up to standards. But that's truly minor. There's a lot of gore, but I think they did a great job of showing the brutality of war without being too in your face about it.
It was interesting as an atheist to see an example of the goodness some people's belief in God can actually generate
Really good movie
