I have watched a lot worse movies of Cage lately but this is not one of them. I can not say I enjoyed it but not bad at all for time killing.
Whiplash was so damn intense. The movie sounds fantastic; the music, the sound mixing, it's all really, really well-done. The acting was all really good and J.K. Simmons' performance in particular is insane(ly good), definitely a contender for Best Supporting Actor. Occasionally he reminded me of a conductor at my high school who got pretty mad at times, but fortunately not quite as much. The editing was nicely done as well, some of the cuts were timed with the music being played which worked really well and made musical performances interesting to watch. The plot's pretty simple but the story manages to not be very predictable and it's certainly very energetic. The climax was incredible. Second best movie of the year so far.
wow. i watch a lot of terrible movies. i manage to finish most of them. but this one? i gave up after around 30 minutes. and went to sleep. recovery was needed.
Wtf is this crap ? Bad script, bad characters, bad actors and too long... So disappointing from Michael Mann...
