It's cool how sometimes we can still have a comedy as a treat.
I forgot to review this when I saw it but this was solidly the best movie I saw in 2024. I sat in my car silently in the theater parking lot for a WHILE when after the credits rolled.
A very good deconstruction of the action genre I felt. It meditates on the intimacy of violence in a deeply discomforting way. It keeps the explosions of violence at a cold distance and brings the aftermath in and holds it very close. I think it's the kind of movie that could be called beautiful for it's shot composition, lighting, and framing, but I think it is a movie that is profoundly about ugly things. It's the intention and craft behind…
It's good dumb fun that earns enough laughs to be worth the price of admission, and it evokes the feeling of the game in a way that doesn't lose people who haven't played. It's the best case scenario for kicking off a franchise that is sure to be deeply exhausting the more interconnected and expanded it gets.
I would call it shockingly palatable.
