Robert Patterson gets to flex his range of acting, I really like the way his character was used, and overall, the movie was a fun ride.
As much as I like it, I have a few problems.

Mark Ruffulo's character was weird. He felt too over the top, but the problem is that…
My friend did not give me any context for this movie, and my god, the intro bored the fuck out of me.
Too many proper nouns, I had no idea what was going on.

As much as the intro bored me though, it was a good time.

I respect this movie a lot, especially as a remake of an old movie I'd only heard of yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm super passionate about it though. It was alright as an experience, but as a remake, it is gorgeous.
Something I find incredible is how they were able to have scenes in black and white purely through lighting. Even with more conventionally lit scenes, the movie always looked amazing. But the black and white scenes totally stood…
