That ambient Oneohtrix Point Never score...really dug it, essential for this particular film, too. Didn't quite love the film as a whole but it was an effectively anxiety-ridden, grimy acid trip for sure.
Robert Pattinson clearly shows that he has the potential to play more than just a sexy vampire. He is one of the actors who takes the most risky roles at the moment and it pays off!
Terrible title but a cracking film. Who would have thought that both leads from Twilight would become two of the most interesting and watchable actors of their generation. Pattinson is absolutely electric here.
Robert Pattinson is nigh unrecognizable in the Safdie Bros.' Good Time, a tale of stupid criminals shot on the cheap, but still managing a glossy look thanks to colorful night photography. After a bank robbery goes wrong, Pattinson's character gets his mentally handicapped brother in trouble, and proceeds to try and save/protect him in the worst possible ways, compounding his panic moves with more of the same. The script feels at times unpolished, but the digressions smack of naturalism, and make the story believable despite its more outrageous turns. Its synth score gives it a nice urgency that at once pushes the action forward and makes the protagonist feel like the hero he isn't. But up until the end, this was just a "good time" watching bad people screw up abominably. The coda pushes it over the edge, a subtle and touching release from all the movie's tension. Is this what catharsis feels like?
The score is amazing, so is Pattinson. He seems to be turning out alright despite his terrible career start. The movie is pretty good, some great actor achievements and exciting scenes.

Its a shame we have to bring up how much more RP is that just some sexy vampire each time he proves how diverse he can be.greenhorg

The Safdie-brothers are brilliant4FSake
Very engaging. Great OST too!devilsadvocado
This is gritty perfection sprung from genuine new york city imagination. Pattinson nails it as does the supporting cast.Showing items 1 – 15 of 17
