This is a good movie. You should go see it.

It's written by the guy that wrote Sicario and some of Sons of Anarchy, plus you've got Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine. What's not to like?

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

My coworker told me about this earlier this week, and he's not the type to go see movies. I'm curious solely because I grew up in the town portrayed and know the banks named... Jeff Bridges kind of seals the deal. Too bad it's not playing locally that I can find...

Loved it, and so did my 18yo son.

Why don't you try our other games?

Has to be one of Bridges' best performances.  He'll get an oscar nod for sure.  Pine and Foster?  Likely their best also.  Pine was a bit out of place as a redneck from west Texas, of course, but Foster killed it.

It's not the type of movie I typically go see, since I believe theatres are meant more for spectacle, but goddamn... what a well made movie.
Also, if you're from Texas, it's basically a must-see regardless of taste.

This is a good movie. Kind of a country noir. I liked the way it avoided some of the obvious (and dumber) story beats.

This movie is as depressing as living in Texas. It's a poster for. "Stay the fuck away. "

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

Trying to find a copy in Aus as a gift, but it looks like it's still actually showing in a couple of cinemas here.

This is on cable now. Watched it again. You should watch it. It is good.
