Flinch

Very simple plot but brilliant execution as we follow a story of a hit man who ends up in an risky situation due to the decisions made after a hit.

The cinematography and score are brilliant as they convey an 80s atmosphere although the movie takes place in present day. Easy story to follow with some twists and turns. Highly recommended!

It opens with a man praying in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary. Joe Doyle is a hitman who lives with his mother, played by the scene stealing Cathy Moriarty. She is extremely proud of his efficiency as a hired killer. Joe kills a man, but is witnessed by the man's personal assistant. THis leads to a completely unbelievable story line with the killer examining his conscience the rest of the film. He keeps the woman in his bedroom with mom insisting that he kill the witness. No need to explain where it all leads, as right up to the ending, it is ridiculous. Don't bother with this stupidity.

#FLINCH. I really love this Film. Its Superb and really Stylish. Technically Well made Film cinematography🔥, sound track🔝, performances😍, lighting, sound mixing etc ❤ Defentily Watchable movie

Sorry, but this movie is not an 8, 9 or a 10. Those reviews must be from people that worked on the movie to bump the ratings. BUT, its a good decent movie, a solid 5. Interesting plot overall, a little slow in the middle, could lose 5-10 minutes. I won't give any spoilers, you don't need to hear anymore than its worth watching. Just know, Its more of a character building movie than action flick. I rate starting at a 5 and move up/down from there - and there is no such thing at a 10. This is a solid 5.5

The really odd thing about this pretty darn good movie is that it actually tries hard to make you uncomfortable and then takes a sharp turn in an expected direction and brings you back. The opening premise -- hit man shows mercy to witness -- is not new, but writer/director Van Hoy really makes it his own. When the hit man picks up the girl like a rag doll and literally "brings her home to mama," you are thinking, boy, is this wrong on so many levels, does the #METOO movement even know about this yet ..? But over the long haul FLINCH succeeds at the single most important thing a film can do. It keeps you from looking away. It keeps you from flinching.
