Letterboxd — Your life in film

Let the Battle Begin,
Marcel

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

3 movies in 1

Here’s the thing - there’s just nothing better than Speed. 

Last twenty minutes are impeccable.

The humor jumped out at me a lot more on rewatch. As always, Cronenberg benefits from repeat viewings. Long live…

God i really do not like that woman

Austin Butler is tremendous here. I’m talking career-defining, movie-saving, must-see phenomenal in it. The rest of the movie is an incoherent disco ball of motion and emotion, one that chews through film like a turret with shell casings. Has just enough high notes that it’s worthwhile. Basically, Baz’s style in a nutshell.

absurdly boring

That middle montage is so spectacular. I just love the vibe of this film. So pessimistic. So dirty. Perfectly captures what exactly a conspiracy is: a vague web, never meant to be untangled. Just great.

When the opening scene is slo-mo Chris Hemsworth flying seaplanes to Supertramp then your only trajectory is down. Literally can’t get better than that.

Yall were too hard on Aaron Taylor-Johnson
