    My mum didn’t want to watch Shutter Island, The Thin Blue Line, or Hal Hartley’s Trust, so we compromised by watching the first thing that popped up on Netflix. Made me want to buy a good old reliable American-made car!

    Watched this while my friend Damo was round with his two year old. He said “teddy!” and “baby!” a lot, and then shit himself while standing up.

    Vintage Fincher on one hand - violent darkly funny thriller - but less grimy and generally cooler and cleaner, while still being incredibly tense and beautifully-photographed. A great study of a sociopath’s code unravelling - and Fassbender feels born to play this role - but also some interesting subtext on the gig economy???

    The thing with The Smiths literally never stops being funny
