Dad loved it, mom and sister hated it. Sometimes the holiday vibes are worth sacrificing for the sake of true cinema.

Kind of struck me on this watch how much this feels like a Scorsese joint.
The power of montage!

A severed head slowly turning in the water.
This should have made nine billion dollars.

This is very much in the vein of Tinker Tailor which is of course why I like it so much.
Also because Roth goes full Roth and gives De Niro a lot to work with, and his direction more than lives up to the task.
It’s a little slow, sure, but once I get into the movie’s rhythm I want to stay there.

The serial killer genre probably ended with this because there was simply nothing more that could be said or done.

I’ve been eager to revisit this after Killers of the Flower Moon. Being only a few minutes longer, it’s interesting to see how Marty utilizes each film’s length and to what purpose.
Killers spends every available minute immersing you into a time and place that’s been both overlooked and underserved before now, using its final minutes to reckon with its own role in the tragedy-to-entertainment cycle. Irishman puts a character’s glory days and shopping of their own casket 50 years later…

When Chuck came back, someone had to explain Bill Clinton and the cigar to him. That would have been a funny scene.

This was my first ever proper Scorsese picture, which began a lifelong fascination with organized crime stories, mole stories and, well… Marty!

We don’t talk enough about how in the span of like 30 minutes movie time, Ethan Hunt drowns, is resuscitated, then gets into a car chase, crashes the car, gets into a bike chase and then crashes the bike.

“Groundhog Day but its ______________.” is definitely in the running for my favorite movie genre.
Whatever this is called, it’s one of the coolest action movies of the last 10-15 years, no doubt. And Emily Blunt does that thing. You know what I’m talking about.
