Letterboxd — Your life in film

A really well made documentary all around. I loved the song selections and the re-enactments. The last shot was awesome as well.

Going full marks on this one. Finished only a few hours ago, it is growing more and more on me. My first but definitely not last John Huston.

Every casting choice in this film is perfect. The actors give the best performances I have seen by any of them yet. Bogart is gritty and wonderfully off his rocker once gold fever sets in.

What an utterly amazing performance by Ray Milland. So much more raw and edgy than I had imagined a film this old could be. Billy Wilder is becoming one of my favorite directors pretty fast. A master storyteller.

Full of interesting and inventive visuals very inspired by comic books. I think I would have enjoyed it more though, if I had more knowledge of comic books in general.

A childhood favorite.

Contains moving scenes and nice cinematography but in the end everything seems incidental. The acting is good but some of the characters are a little too one-note. The scottish kid's change was not very convincing mostly due to his exaggerated performance. In the end it is a bit too long and some of the elements used to illustrate the movie's points do grow a tad repetitive. But like I said, a well-meaning movie full of good human interactions.

Jack Lemmon is the man here. Tony Curtis is awesome as well, but Jack Lemmon is having a ball, it's so much fun to watch.

Cage keeps it going aided by a good as always Alfred Molina. I don't understand why the Cage haters don't even realise that he always gives any film his all. That's more than can be said for most actors working today.

The best thing about this film is the brutality. They don't hold back. Bones crunch, bullets boom through the air. Well-choreographed fights and cool shootouts. Statham also shows just a hint of a little more range than usually.
