Good Time


2017 crime thriller

Rating: 14/20

Plot: After a pair of brothers botch a bank robbery scheme, the mentally-challenged one winds up arrested. The other brother attempts to free him.

Gritty and hyper-modern, this movie definitely doesn't suffer from a lack of propulsion. It's filled with all sorts of twists and turns that keep this thing zigzagging even as it thrusts forward. Drenched in neon and urban grease, Robert Patterson brings this flawed but likable little twitchy jerk to life as he wades through a nightmare of his own construction. I'm not sure there's anything novel about any of this, and the score and some implausibilities were a little distracting, but I still ended up liking this enough.
