Crazy story of a deluded fan and the lengths he'll go to take a shortcut to achieve his dreams. Peak Robert De Niro, peak Martin Scorsese. It's like a tightening noose of cringe and the ending is perfect.
two ex cons looking to rebuild their lives ~ always been a fan of both pacino & hackman, somehow this film slipped under my radar until now. both actors are amazing and have crazy energy in it, theres these really long takes throughout of the film and you really feel the energy of their weird friendship, really funny, intense, tragic
I love a good heist movie… if you can call this that.
And I love 70s Pacino (Godfather 1 and 2, … And Justice for All)
If you like seeing this man freak out, walk don’t run watch this now
You can see action movies at home and you're fine. But to truly appreciate a movie with any nuance or subtlety, you must see it in a darkened, under-attended theater so you can hold your thoughts and keep your phone in your pocket and surrender yourself to the vision
Just go on Spotify or whatever and hit play on some Charlie Parker or Ornette Coleman or Miles Davis. Let it spin out recommendations from there. It will all be over your head, and that's just fine. The more you pay attention, the more you'll be rewarded, but also, just hit play and get on with your day
