@matt It’s like you hate me or something.

I actually agree with your rating, you just used a dirty word in it. 😜

@matt I really liked it!
What did you think about the final dialog? I was discussing with some friends whether that was *the* correct recollection or just another crazy theory like the ones we saw Clooney’s character create during the movie.

Matt Birchler Sep 29, 2024

@rmaraujo You know I hadn’t really thought about it that way. I had assumed it was all very real, but I’ll noodle on it a bit now.

Tim Chaten Sep 29, 2024

@matt One of your favorite Apple TV movies then? Can think of just a few obvious ones above it?

Matt Birchler Sep 29, 2024

@tchaten Might be the first I’ve enjoyed at all 😅

Haven’t seen Coda, but yeah, finally!

Tim Chaten Sep 29, 2024

@matt oh wow lol so Killers of a Flower Moon didn’t hit? You know next project turn those ratings into a searchable database lol

Matt Birchler Sep 29, 2024

@tchaten Oh I forgot that was an Apple one…yeah that was better, one of my top films of last year.

BenRiceM Sep 21, 2024

@matt is this streaming already?

Juan C. Fernandez Sep 21, 2024

@BenRiceM @matt It’s available for rent

@j_f @BenRiceM Looks like the physical version came out today too. I just assumed it was everywhere, but haven’t checked iTunes in forever

Maximilian Sep 8, 2024

@matt I was disappointed. Too many plots that ultimately didn't matter, which can be fine in a "return to" movie, if its fun though. Didn't feel like any plot really mattered in the end, and I couldn't buy the actors as their characters.

@matt You mean prequel! 😉

Tim Chaten Sep 2, 2024

@matt on my list now! There is another movie in the same world - I hear not as good - https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/caveat/umc.cmc.16muyco412y71h5o5zk9k5u6d

Maximilian Sep 2, 2024

@matt have you seen Strange Darling? It’s really good!

Christopher Lawley Sep 2, 2024

@matt FINALLY! A movie we can agree on.

@ChrisLawley They said it would never happen! 😂

Jason Snell Sep 2, 2024

@matt oh Matt this is going to be bad for our relationship

Greg Pierce Sep 1, 2024

@matt Is this a straight remake of his old movie? It was so great.

Matt Birchler Sep 1, 2024

@agiletortoise I haven't seen the original, but unless the original took place in France then probably not...

Greg Pierce Sep 1, 2024

@matt Sounds like mostly “yes”, with some updates. Of course, the plot is hardly the most interesting part of a good Woo film, so I don’t know how much it matters. I love the original. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/movies/the-killer-review.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

‘The Killer’ Review: John Woo With a French Twist

Woo’s new version of his Hong Kong action movie “The Killer,” starring Nathalie Emmanuel and Omar Sy, may be a remake, but it’s not a retread.

The New York Times

Tim Chaten Sep 1, 2024

@matt This name is overused - think David Fincher directed a Netflix movie by the same name!

Matt Birchler Sep 1, 2024

@tchaten He did indeed! I suppose since this is a remake of Woo's 1989 film also called The Killer, he'd probably say he has dibs 😂

Tim Chaten Aug 31, 2024

@matt Loved this one! Glad it clicked with you even with the decent rating! Did the end credits stinger give you a good laugh?

Matt Birchler Aug 31, 2024

@tchaten Sorta, although that guy was one of the people who I was like “NO ONE WOULD DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS” so it was dulled a bit 😂

Tim Chaten Aug 31, 2024

@matt Ah … I am the kind of viewer that buys all into the world setup and goes along with what ride is in store and the decision making of the characters didn’t bother me at all for this one because everything else was so perfect to me

Oliver Haslam Aug 25, 2024

@matt By sheer coincidence, we watched it last night as well. We couldn’t abide it, but that’s just what makes movies so awesome - nobody enjoys the same ones!

Jarrod Blundy Aug 18, 2024

@matt How common is it for you to turn off a movie that you’re not enjoying without finishing it?

Matt Birchler Aug 18, 2024

@jarrod Oh man, it’s exceptionally rare. I generally want to see if they pull off something redeeming in the last act.

I got close with this one and watched at 2x for a couple scenes, which I never do either, but sadly that only revealed that the worst part of this movie was the third act 😂😭

Jarrod Blundy Aug 18, 2024

@matt Haha same here. Good commitment!

Tim Chaten Aug 17, 2024

@matt out of curiosity special edition or theatrical (VERY different ending)

Matt Birchler Aug 17, 2024

@tchaten I once again must say that I watched on streaming and was not given any choice in the matter 😂

Looks like it was the theatrical cut. I’m assuming you like the special edition better?

Luís Aug 17, 2024

@matt The special edition is probably my favorite Cameron movie. It provides a different context to the situation, and at least for me, it’s the superior version.
