Not your average by the numbers filmmaking
Cop movies are nothing new, neither is terrorizing someone in a room. I thought the movie was gonna be a Saw meets cop movie sorta thing based on some reviews. gotta say though, this movie was way cooler than that. It reminded me of Guy Ritchie movies - tracking back an forward in time, funny surreal moments, people breaking fourth wall to explain things, characters switching places, etc. The acting was solid and cinematography and editing were top notch. The beginning felt a tad weak, but i'm really splitting hairs here. They really got everything on the screen with this movie. I think if there's any real 'problem' with it is, it doesn't follow the typical arc people expect these days. More of an oblique 70's feel, where you don't have the satisfaction of a neat resolution or the hero doing the final heroic thing. But that's a good thing. It's unexpected. All in all, it was actually one of the better movies I've seen this year. Hope it gets legs. It deserves it.
Well worth watching.
An intriguing story, told stylishly and in an interesting way. Add to that a cast of character actors that everyone must enjoy watching, and this couldn't really go wrong. Saying that, it was a bit messy early on, giving the distinct impression it was going to be a headache to stick with, style over substance perhaps. I feared the worst, but it began to fall together nicely. Despite a nagging feeling it should have been even better given the premise, it was a good-looking and enjoyable film. And I loved the killer's flashback to his old life. A funny interlude in a generally grim movie. I'll look forward to the writer/director's future work.
A fun ride
This film deserves more publicity than it is getting.. An impressive cast and a pretty good thriller in its own right.. The different stories that each cop puts forward on poker night are in itself pretty good. Each story is different in their own way and its really depicts how a legit detective team would handle the same case. The negatives that I have are really slight.. Maybe the plot could have been a bit more taut and focused on the killer a bit more. The acting is well handled.. I enjoyed the ending and I wish the team behind this all the best in their next venture. I went in without any expectations but the rating on IMDb (which I think it deserves at least a seven) and I liked it. If you are into thrillers, give it a try.
One word, Gripping!
Man, this movie was a treat to watch. Superb script, acting is very believable and most of all its a fast paced well written thriller that is not to be missed. Cinematography and editing was top of the line. I was quite surprised to not find a lot of reviews out here. I had to create a new account to post my review here. Direction is excellent and I personally loved the unique way in which the story was told. There are also some elements of humor through out, which I think was done very well. It's on of the best movies I have seen from 2014. All in all a great movie that will leave you highly entertained and pleased. Go watch it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I am giving this movie a 9.5/10. Cheers.
Ratings and reviews were misleading
Extremely disappointing film. The presence of some solid actors can't save this mess. This movie seems to try very hard to be something that it just can't pull off. The lone bright spots were the performances of Ron Perlman, Giancarlo Esposito and the villain (whom I won't name so as to not spoil anything. Esposito and Perlman gave good performances but their screen time was limited, don't go into this film thinking you'll see a lot of them. The villain was probably the brightest spot in the film. The flashbacks featuring him were very funny and he was a very menacing character. Poker night had precious few strong elements flanked by a great deal of terrible ones, it's not worth your time. I strongly advise others to skip this film.
