Silent J’s review:
You get very strong performances and wonderful chemistry from a fantastic cast inclu Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, and Mark Ruffalo. A clever, funny, and charming script, even if the ending is weak in my opinion. Sharp and stylish, this is a very enjoyable ride.
Was more than a little surprised by this film, highly enjoyable and loved Rinko Kikuchi as Bang Bang.
Yeah, she almost stole the show.
I loved the ending.
I did'nt hate the ending but I just did'nt buy it. The final act in general is a little underwhelming for me after how much I loved it up until then.
The opening is so fucking amazing. One of the best openings from the last few years.
One of my favorite openings. "Everyone gets what they want!"
This film is really quotable too..."You were the only audience I ever needed"..."Tastes like tinfoil" That's good writing right there!
