No steers in this film

I liked it when that guy made it rain inside and they should have done some more stuff like that I think

This movie is painfully aware and unaware that it is a movie sometimes

george clooney should really get some form of life insurance or at least have a emergency

how can you fix something

score was the cherry

A genuine dread, the danger that lies unseen, graphite in the hand is worth none in the hospital. 

A red flag of victory raised over men condemned to die!

Enjoyed a lot 

Visually felt like if Stephen Shore had DP’d an episode of Twin Peaks. 

Story wise I really enjoyed the amount of trust the writers had in the audience to create their own suspense. 

Especially the climactical bar scene.

Miles the Ice Cream Schmoker was the pinnacle.

seemed like a monotone metronome between muppet-like-moments and flicked-face-violence

This review may contain spoilers.

Going into this film I was kinda jarred by the constant looping narrative online of having to watch this twice to actually understand it, expecting to walk out like I had just finished a calc class. 

It was honestly anything but; of course it was complex and made you engage and not just switch off, but it gave you multiple moments where you felt incredibly gratified for paying attention. The story feels like a mission impossible movie if it was trimmed of all the fat and wasn’t trying to impress you with every single gadget or sequence, it simply was.

I had two chief problems with the experience as a whole, the second being completely beyond the control of the filmmakers. 

The first being that the climax and full scale incursion didn’t feel 100% cohesive with the rest of the film, sticking out as a kind of “full metal jacket” sore thumb amongst the predominantly espionage based action up until that point.  

The second was that due to the country I watched it in, two inconsequential snippets were cut out due to censorship. While I now know that they were inconsequential, it did itch at a portion of my brain throughout.

Very well paced, and the film didn’t feel the need to show us every single interaction between main characters: “When we are in you apartment together...”

Made the world feel real and established, and Jake Gyllenhaal really is a huge part of that.

This film is a good example of enter the scene late and leave early, making the audience feel as if this is a world that would keep on running even if the cameras weren’t.

the feats that tommy has achieved throughout his life are nothing short of superhuman, and his ascent of the dawn wall, along side jorgeson, is a hard fought peak(!)

the cutaway segments to contextualise tommys entire journey, never slow down the pacing of their ascent, but instead give the viewer more and more reasons to cling to the edge of their seats and this masterclass feat.

tommy going back for kevin was a true moment of beauty and an authentic moment of no-frills love.
