So just fyi I dislike a lot of modern movies, and feel like there is a gradual decline in quality movies the further we go into the future. So I was super astonished to see this diamond in the rough. So baffled by greatness that I would put it in my top 20 movie list, and fyi no other movie that came out in the last 10 years will be in that list. The dialogue is great, the plot, the esthetic is great, (I love that time period!), the acting is great etc.
I just love how all these different stories of people go together so well causing you to be constantly engaged. Reminded me of Identity (which I also love).
Only problem I had was in the beginning when they showed some of the bank heist. I felt like it would have been better without that. Then we could have been wondering what in the hell Jeff Bridges character is up to which would have added to the suspense/mystery. So many movies now days have this scene in the beginning that is suppose to entice the audience right away (because our intention span is so small now days) but often these scenes don't add anything, or in fact a lot of times they spoil some of the story.
Anyways still an A+++++ on my end.
