ShangLuda Admirable film.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

sbanner-58949 It was a little difficult for me to get used to Rob in this movie. I wasn't sure what to expect, especially since his character is so unlike the typical pretty-boy Vampires and billionaires he usually plays. The movie starts off fast, and grabs your attention. A very odd series of events will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie too. The disappointing part didn't happen until the end for me. It was like GO!GO! GO! (For an hour) and then "aw. Wtf just happened?! It's over!! That's CRAP!"The end just has zero closure to it, and it's ceerainly not a happy ending. Other than the end, I thought it was pretty great. Rob is Very talented: and the weird things he had to do in this film, are great for showing off his abilities as an actor.

jsph_calabrese The emphatic entrance of Robert Pattinson's character minutes into the movie signaled two things:1. The former Twilight actor is not messing around in an attempt to reinvent himself from the pretty boy typecast. Pattinson delivers the best performance of 2017 as the gritty anti-hero Connie, and you get the feeling this entrance will one day be remembered as the pivotal moment of his career.2. The title of this heist thriller is no misnomer. From this moment on, we are flung into an unrelenting adrenaline ride that hasn't felt so exhilarating since 2015's Fury Road.It's hard not to recall the late film critic Manny Farber's coined term "Termite Art" when describing the dramatic depth here. Farber argued that true glory of American cinema is not found in high-minded message pictures like To Kill a Mockingbird or Schindler's List, but rather in B-movies and genre pictures where the artistry is hidden within the entertainment. Good Time provides thorough entertainment throughout, but it also stays in your mind long past viewing, with little termites eating at you with questions regarding the American handling of penal system, poverty, privilege, and mental health. The overarching theme of the movie is destructive love, and above all begs the question, can you truly love someone despite not having the right kind of love to give them?

dallasryan I used to write Pattinson off as a good actor from the Twilight series. But then I saw him in a movie called The Rover, and he was superb in it and I've been a Pattinson fan ever since. Pattinson gives a dynamic, all out performance in Good Time. Things unravel for Pattinson's character as each situation keeps getting worse and worse finally spiraling fully out of control. The film gives the ambiance of spiraling out of control with it's dark, blazing, hallucinogenic, acid trip, vivid and luminous tone. Pattinson's remarkable performance fits perfectly with the ambiance, making this a magnificent movie of glowing razzle-dazzle.Benny Safdie did a great job directing this one, and was terrific as the brother in the film as well. Check out it for the acting and filmmaking! A great joy ride experience.

andrewroy-04316 Man, I was so ready to love Good Time. An edge-of-your-seat, uncomfortable, intense crime thriller with Pattinson spearheading it sounds awesome. While I did enjoy it and thought the characters and plot were much more true to reality than many crime movies, there was not much thematically or in the plot that made you think. The Safdies do a good job of establishing Connie as an intelligent man who's means always justify his ends, and is always looking to manipulate others for money. Pattinson, for his part, does succeed and brings a frantic energy that pervades the movie. As the plot unfurled, I didn't feel like I got anything further from the developments - it was just more of the same, Pattinson struggling and no twists or interesting elements. The bond between Connie and his brother was interesting, but unfortunately we saw nothing further between them after the first 15 minutes or so. I didn't feel especially thrilled or intrigued by the end, because it felt like I was just watching a misguided, fervent person try to get money and put pieces of his and his brother's life together. By the end, I didn't feel sad or sympathy for them, just acceptance and understanding of their character, no further intrigue. It's a shame, because it definitely had potential and I liked the way it was shot and acted, the plot just didn't show me much of any development or things to ponder. I'll be very interested to see what Pattinson does in the future, as his talent is obvious.
