In 7 words or less: And the best Actor Oscar goes to.....Best bits? Any scene with Brendon Gleeson in. Particularly the breakfast table, interrogation and 'Cheadle meets Gleeson' scenes. This is a tour-de-force performance and hopefully oscar will recognise it. Cheadle is also great (best supporting maybe?)
Did it make you think thoughts? Don Cheadles FBI agent teams up with Gleesons police officer to take down a drug smuggling ring. What's amazing is that even though it's a modest 1hr 26 mins it manages to pack in all the required elements and never feels like anything was glossed over or missing. It made me think that not all great films have to be two hours long.
Would you watch it again? Defo. The film manges to be laugh-out-loud hilarious and poignant at the same time and hits an emotional spot as well as the funny bone.
Rating (out of 100%): You wait for a good flick and two come along in quick succession. First The Good, The Bad, The Weird and now this. A potential film of the year candidate. A guinnessy goodness rating of 90%
