cdyle007 Good Time is that rare film that makes you forget you're watching one. By turns tense, funny, gorgeous, ugly, exhausting, deeply sad and always so real it hurts with a unique sound track to match. Even the minor characters are sharply drawn, and the major ones perfection. It was a good day when the Safdies & Robert Pattinson crossed paths.
groll-28516 Quick and to the point, Good Time exceeded my expectations. The acting, (especially Rob Pattinson's), direction by the Safdie Brothers, and soundtrack all came together to create a masterpiece. It's not a regular type of film, which might be why some people don't enjoy it. It was raw, edgy, and intense. The movie pulls you in and leaves you wondering what to do once its over. I can't wait to see what Josh and Benny Safdie will come out with next!
luke-564 I've never seen a movie quite like this one. The pacing and the editing and score in particular are very original and intense. The film has a relentless pace and always keeps you engaged. I can't be bothered writing a longer review, but if you're a film buff and want to see something fresh, you need to see this film.
andrewroy-04316 Man, I was so ready to love Good Time. An edge-of-your-seat, uncomfortable, intense crime thriller with Pattinson spearheading it sounds awesome. While I did enjoy it and thought the characters and plot were much more true to reality than many crime movies, there was not much thematically or in the plot that made you think. The Safdies do a good job of establishing Connie as an intelligent man who's means always justify his ends, and is always looking to manipulate others for money. Pattinson, for his part, does succeed and brings a frantic energy that pervades the movie. As the plot unfurled, I didn't feel like I got anything further from the developments - it was just more of the same, Pattinson struggling and no twists or interesting elements. The bond between Connie and his brother was interesting, but unfortunately we saw nothing further between them after the first 15 minutes or so. I didn't feel especially thrilled or intrigued by the end, because it felt like I was just watching a misguided, fervent person try to get money and put pieces of his and his brother's life together. By the end, I didn't feel sad or sympathy for them, just acceptance and understanding of their character, no further intrigue. It's a shame, because it definitely had potential and I liked the way it was shot and acted, the plot just didn't show me much of any development or things to ponder. I'll be very interested to see what Pattinson does in the future, as his talent is obvious.
