November Criminals

Totally forgettable and not entertaining at all. I really do not see the point of this movie being made as the Characters are boring and the ending to the main story point is over so quickly like "that's it?"

This movie could have been so much better if the writer or director or who-ever had done their research. The way the whole "gang" scenes played out felt like it was written by someone who was upper class or just so naive they they don't understand the way gangs work. Too bad because the acting was not that bad..... but didnt feel real enough for me

4.1

I had a hard time buying into the characters conviction which is what carries the story. It was also slow and at times boring with the storyline.

Okay, I agree with many of the criticisms posted on here, the plot is thin and unimaginative. But the acting is good- Ansel Eghorn is okay, the others are good. The cinematography is good, even the music is good if somewhat forgettable. A good Saturday afternoon watch, especially if you can pick it up free at the local library.

Ansel Elgort who scored so well in Baby Driver as the young getaway driver in that multi-caper film plays the lead here in November Criminals. After losing his virginity to Chloe Grace Moretz he learns that a friend from school was shot down execution style on his job in a cafeteria.

It really unnerves him and Elgort is a sensitive kid, college bound and now with a new girlfriend. But he feels that the shooting is going to be put aside and turn cold on the already crime ridden Washington, DC police.

Elgort really ticks off all the authorities, police, educational and even his widowed father. Not to mention the mother of Moretz, Catherine Keener also raising her as a single parent.

In the end he finds out he didn't know the friend he had as well as he thought and it almost costs him his life.

Both Moretz and Elgort are an attractive couple and I'm agreeing with the other reviewer who said he thought they might be an off screen item. They certainly did have good chemistry together.

Look for a nice performance from Danny Flaherty as a former schoolmate of Elgort who has dropped out for the lucrative trade of illegal pharmaceuticals. He looks like he's own best customer. And the shooter Phillip Ettinger is also memorable.

Ansel Elgort could have a big future in the cinema.
