Surprising

The reviews for this weren't exactly bad, or even mixed. But it did seem to get a lot of negative ones, and a lot of neutral, unpassionate ones. To my surprise, this is a fine film. Sure, not all that original, but the directing is really strong, as is the acting, Robert Pattinson, in particular, really shines and the best I've ever seen him be. Who knew he had this sort of performance in him, I certainly didn't, and it makes me interested in what he can accomplish in the future. Guy Pearce was strong too, with a pretty subdued, but very intense, character to play. The rest of the supporting players give some nice work too. Overall, I recommend this.

Trivia
Robert Pattinson stated, that after the Twilight series ended he knew he had to play these kind of roles to avoid getting typecast, and that he wanted the role so much, that in the days leading up to the audition, he even dreamt of his character Rey. When he was at David Michôd house for the audition, he couldn't start to actually play the character for 45 minutes because he had so much anxiety.
