There was something about this that compelled me to watch it again so I saw it with a couple a friends and as the credits rolled we just sat there in utter silence for what felt like a long time until one of us spoke.
There are very few movies that does that.
Everything about this is close to cinematic perfection, Olsen and Renner are magnificent, the cinematography is breathtaking and the whole thing just grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go.
The portrayal of male grief is just so fucking spot on it hurts.
An underrated masterpiece.
The script is outstanding, the cast is spectacular, the atmosphere is captivating and the scenery is breathtaking.
This is perfection and I can only feel sadness as there will never be anything better.
Absolutely speechless. Without speech.
This was the darkest, craziest, sickest, most glorious and magnificent thing I've seen in ages.
Even the children's performances are completely outstanding and the whole thing just flows seamlessly between laughter and tears.
I will actively be looking for an excuse to watch this again.
Absolutely brilliant in every single way.
An epic performance by Danes and strong support actors delivers an amazing true story.
Unlike one of the previous commenters I thought this was a pretty fresh take on the cold war spy thrillers.
It's like a John Wick inspired John Le Carre production with a distractingly beautiful lead.
It's what Atomic Blonde could have been with a more coherent script.
Luc Besson will never be one of the highly esteemed writers/directors because he's niched himself in the action/thriller franchise but within that franchise this is a freaking masterpiece.
Visually stunning and a soundtrack that is just absolutely sublime.
Suspend all disbelief, crank the volume to eleven and enjoy the ride.
I was a grown man when I lost my mother to cancer yet this took a firm grip on my heart.
I can't remember the last time I cried this much at all, let alone watching a movie.
And those weren't manly tears, I mean old guy full on blubbering mess kind of crying.
This is one of those rare films I probably will never bring myself to watch again yet I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
A masterpiece and a modern classic.
I almost suffered a panic attack after watching this it's so powerful.
Growing up in a rural Nordic village I could totally see this happening and it is a very vivid account of what pier pressure is capable of, it absolutely brings out the worst in man.
Mads Mikkelsen is brilliant but he doesn't have to carry it as the whole casting is excellent, even the child actor does a stellar performance.
Absolutely magnificent.
Hagen as a sleazeball drug kingpin just nails it, he is glorious and Skarsgård is splendid as always.
The mix of dark comedy and thriller is just perfect.
Easily one of the top five films to come out of Norway in recent years.
It's a rare thing when you manage to find a book adaptation actually worthy of the book.
The Coen brothers have turned Cormac McCarthy's modern classic into a cinematic masterpiece.
Everyone involved delivers their parts perfectly and the dialogue is spectacular.
I've read the book and watched the movie several times, still it is infinitely rewatchable and ages like fine wine.
One of the best movies to come out this century and in my opinion the Coen brothers finest hour.
Coming from Jojo rabbit to this the only reasonable conclusion must be that Taika Waititi is a genius.
Story is spectacular, performances are solid and the scenery is absolutely majestical .
A masterpiece of dark comedy and a personal favourite.
Snappy dialogue, excellent chemistry, great acting and a setting so sublime it's like a PR stunt for Bruges.
I actually visited because of this movie and can confirm that everything Gleeson says about the town is factual.
I knew I was awake but it felt like I was in a dream.
It's 6AM, the sun is coming up and I'm just in a state of shock after binging the entire series.
This was the bleakest, darkest and most beautiful thing I've seen since the first season of True Detective.
If Adams doesn't get an Emmy for this then there truly is no justice in the world.
An absolute treasure trove of the prejudices Nordic countries have against each other.
Hilarious stuff and I loved every second of it.
I just rewatched this and the fact that it still holds up as one of the greatest thrillers of the post millennium era is a testament to its greatness.
Easily Manns best work and Cruise and Foxx really shines throughout.
Absolutely magnificent.
Alba completely nails the role as Astrid and there are stellar performances throughout.
The story grabs you by a chokehold from the first frame and never lets go.
One of the best Swedish films I've ever seen.
Brilliant.
If I hadn't been in a state of shock throughout most it I most likely would have cried.
The casting was excellent and superb acting all around.
"At the edge of your seat" is an overused expression but this one literally had me leaning forward on several occasions which is really saying something considering everything that happens is already known.
Surprisingly the predictability of it all really takes nothing away from the story and when the climactic words The Eagle has landed where spoken I could feel the hairs standing out on the back of my neck.
The only thing keeping this from getting a solid 10/10 is that the soundtrack could have been better.
Bring out the popcorn and strap in, you're in for a wild and amazing ride.
Spectacularly good. Timberlake is just shining in this and Ryder Allen's performance is nothing short of amazing, one to look out for in the future for sure.
I like this a lot more than I reasonably should.
It's by no means a cinematic masterpiece but it's a solid thriller that hold the suspense throughout.
If you wanted to be kind you could call it a homage to Alien as they basically copied the Alien plotline and set it under water.
As an Alien fan I guess that would be reason enough to hate it but I can't since they have done it really well and Kristen Stewart tackles the legacy of Commander Ripley spectacularly well.
Stewart totally nails it as a badass mechanic with a grudge against the world and the rest of the cast delivers as well.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
A compelling true story expertly delivered.
It's already a slow burn to begin with and the pace drops considerably as we get closer to the end.
The cast all give excellent performances and the cameos by real life victims of this corporate sanctioned poisoning are a very nice touch.
It's like a Finnish mix of Rambo and Mad Max with an aftertaste of spaghetti westerns and Quentin Tarantino sprinkled liberally with graphic splatter killings of nazis.
I loved every minute of it.
It's a slow burn but the as the story progresses it reels you in until you can't let go.
I'll have to admit I haven't seen Garfield in much before this but his performance blew me away.
One of the things I liked the most is that in the entirety of the series there is not one single filler shot where it's like a five minute music video without progressing the story at all which is like a plague in almost all other major productions these days.
This just tells the story and what a doozy of a story it is.
They took a very difficult subject and made it fucking fabulous.
Very enjoyable.
Solid performances throughout and and a heavy Black Mirror vibe.
If your sense of humour is even the slightest nuance lighter than pitch black, this movie is not for you.
If you are easily offended, this movie is not for you.
If you are appalled by senseless violence, this movie is not for you.
For the rest of us this is absolutely brilliant.
It's kinda silly, a bit predictable but also visually stunning, well acted and funny. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have absolutely no interest in watch-making whatsoever, yet this is one of the most captivating documentaries I've ever seen.
A slow burn but man it's worth it. A beautiful film that really hits you where it hurts.
Fosters skills are already solidified but McKenzie I'd only seen in Jojo Rabbit previously but this is an absolutely stellar performance.
One to watch out for in the future for sure.
Holy shit this was good.
Screw Bad Moms and Oceans 8, this is female empowerment and girl power at it's best, girl stopping power.
Garner as Riley North is such a convincing badass she makes John Wick look like a boy scout.
