Robert C @pincheway Jan 5 It felt like someone had a good idea but got bored half way through. The ending was unnecessary and disappointing. Actors were all great. See more L W. @phillybird52 Dec 29 I really wanted to like this as it had a good cast and the premise to start was good but it was just a dull story about a guy that wanted to do good Meh… See more Frank W @RT04148463 Jul 16 The movie had all of the trappings to pull me in. A good story about corruption, business, competition with a slight hint of implied gangsterism Good acting. . But the movie never gave what it was teasing with. No real action. The wife kept saying she and her dad whom We assume was a gangster would Handle things but it never happened. A long drawn out movie with a weak ending that amounted to nothing. I wish I could get my time back. The guy played the character like Michael Corleone. Boy what a tease. It was all For nothing. See more patrick l @Paddytheshadow Jun 29 A very decent movie. Smart and well acted. Way better than some of the crap been chucked out these days.

Oscar Isaac delivers a compelling performance as Abel Morales, a man striving to uphold his principles amidst escalating pressures in 1981 New York City. Jessica Chastain's portrayal of his wife, Anna, is equally remarkable, adding depth to the narrative. J.C. Chandor's direction emphasizes storytelling and strong performances over flashy cinematic techniques, resulting in a gripping and thought-provoking experience. Despite its critical acclaim, the film remains underappreciated, making it a must-watch for those seeking quality cinema.

This might be the thinnest script I've ever watched. And the nonsensical plot points- are you telling me the driver had the courage to buy and use a gun and engage in a gun fight- but chose to commit suicide rather then go to jail? For gun possession? Felony gun possession for a person w/ a totally clean record and given the victim of multiple robberies would've probably not even done jail time? You can't take something that has no drama and make it melodramatic, which is what they tried to do. I am a collector and I have movies that aren't awesome for one reason of another but this is a movie I won't be adding to mine, there just wasn't anything to it. Bad Netflix movies have deeper manuscripts, and that's saying a lot. See more Read all reviews
