John C @JohnC213 3 days ago Simmering, thoughtful with dynamite character studies, & beautifully shot. Saw a Q&A with the director and some of the actors..., movie made for 1.5 million in 18 days which to me is remarkable. Very well done, satisfying and look forward to more of the very talented Sukkar's work. See more N S @Sugar113 3 days ago Superb acting from everyone, story takes a few twists and turns and ends up with a nice catharsis. Noir cinematography beautiful. Color palette really quite nice. Recommended highly. See more Charles T @collingsdh2 6 days ago A very dark, funny, fish-out-of-water, slacker comedy that's wrapped in an upside-down take on a police procedural set in a sad, can't get-out-of-here, going nowhere small town. The characters are real, the acting is great. The plot is guessable (as if that matters), but the way it's delivered is full of great twists created by the characters and the pacing. Just might become a cult a classic - favorite line: "Why are you going out again? Every time you go out it only gets worse." Graphic violence warning: yes, there's gunplay and deaths, so don't take the little kids, but I didn't find any of it gratuitous, it just showed the desperate struggle of our fish-out-of water to stay alive.

See more tm11999 M @tm11999 Sep 30, 2026 RT has made a plethora of critics out of morlocks who wouldn't know a good story if it bit'em on the behind. a good story......is a good story, you morons. the kid is perfect, everything that happens and the entire supporting cast are perfect too. everybody gets exactly what they deserve in the end. watch this movie. See more Sally L @moviesandmayhem Sep 29, 2026 Tbh the saving grace of this movie was the supporting roles who shone brightest despite very little screen time (Billie Lourd, Daniel Diemer, hell even Julia Fox!). Tiffany Haddish, per usual, relied on the same annoying energy and stand-up persona she brings to everything instead of actually creating a character. Stephen Dorff is one-dimensional and it felt like he phoned it in. And Duke Nicholson failed to bring the emotional nuances of his [poorly-written] character to fruition, though I'm not sure anyone could with this writing... I'd like to give him another chance but based off this, it feels like another nepo baby gamble gone very wrong. See more Read all reviews
