I’ve seen this like 10 times and can still barely keep up with all the double crosses

I was browsing criterion and hit play based on the title. Was pretty surprised when I found out that the “killer” wasn’t a person. Still pretty fun and random when they cut the typical noir crime stuff with medical virus educational style clips. It’s like if there was a bank robbery subplot in Contagion or something.

Only part that holds up on rewatch is the highway shootout , otherwise pretty basic stuff

Not bad but this is more of an action thriller in the second half , the original was like a bleak satire. Different enough if you wanna watch both. Someone probably already said this but McAvoys transformation into Gerard Butler is almost complete.

Just like Nitram , I got tricked and didn’t know this was a true story til the end. Not a big fan of Kurzel but this had moments where I thought I was watching something really good. Mostly solid procedural,  but the generic title and typical story beats hold it back a little. Law is very good here, Hoult is ok but what does Sheridan even do in any of his movies? Most forgettable dude ever.

Very very stupid but funny , I forgot most of the bits so it was a fun watch the second time around.

I really enjoyed parts of this, but was losing interest for long stretches. I’m not sure that I got much of what was going on in Manila til the end where they run into some protesters. There’s good drama in parts like the call boy scenes but this isn’t really my kind of movie. Respectfully.

Doc about repatriating some looted African art. Diop makes this stuff emotional. Damn this hits. “They always told us some ‘things’ were stolen from us but they didn’t say it was treasure”. One of the best of the year now.

Some really funny bits and even some top tier car chase action. Streisand is great , O’Neal works playing the clueless straight man. Love it

Orlock/Dracula is way more emo in this one. Less horror and more depressing than the new one , the last supper rat scene was some depressing shit. I liked this a lot , totally different vibes than the Eggers

3.5 stars for the “Dolby as it should be seen” blah blah theater experience. It was very loud and dark and it looked cool. Maybe Eggers is not too creative , but he knows good imagery and how to make bodies move in a creepy way. Depp was great too. Nosferatus voice was awesome but he was a yapper.

First rewatch in a long time , thought I would revisit before watching Nosferatu this week. Insane visuals and good fun acting (not you Keanu!) Hopkins and Oldman steal the show obviously.
