People were mentioning in the box office post and I totally agree, this movie really would have benefited from being on cable and being a show instead. I liked it overall but there was some missed opportunities. It has all the right ingredients but it came up a little short for me. The script could have been better but I have a feeling the studio ended up cutting a lot out for time restrictions.

But met Steve

Yeah I felt the ending needed more. We don’t even see what happens to all the characters.

Wait, which characters didn’t we get a resolution on?

and why would we need to see a resolution for every single character in the film...? this isn't a dumb family movie.

I was just a bit disappointed for a movie that was advertised as a heist to have 20 minutes of heist and 2 hours of political bullshit. Also think it would have worked well as a miniseries on HBO.

I felt the same way, they could've cut a few things like the bowling alley guy's scenes and the scene with Colin at the rich people meeting for a few more exhilariting action scenes

Just to continue from the last post, this movie is not gory. People seem to be under that false impression. It is violent but not gory. There’s blood but nothing too extreme.

lmao why do people let him even try to be anything other than irish? he's so much better off either playing irish characters or being in movies like killing of a sacred deer where he can just have an irish accent and it doesn't matter

He was amazing in “In Bruges” like I hadn’t realized he was a good actor until then; he really does better when he keeps his own accent.

i was SO confused about what was going on with his accent lmao. like clearly the actors do ADR, why is he not given a vocal coach? he kept drifting into his accent and i'm like uhhhh ok

i was really hyped for this movie but i was kind of let down. i think it has massive pacing problems and none of the plots really got any room to breathe. i did enjoy seeing elizabeth debicki tower over everybody else on screen though
