I think this suffered a lot from having just read the book about a month ago, it really zaps a lot of narrative tension when you know where it's going with these ambiguously menacing scenes. But overall a good movie. I thought Gyllenhaal did an excellent job of converting an anxious interior monologue into a visual form and Coleman is great as usual.

I have not. I haven't even heard of it, I don't think. Doesn't ring any bells.
I think you would love it.

And yes, the sequel came out last year.

Friday evening, family time, good food, weekend feel, big movie. That’s a combination I love.

Just started The Last Duel.

Good start to the movie, even it feels a bit like that’s Matt Damon, Adam Driver and Ben Affleck acting, instead of feeling real. Don’t quite know why, perhaps it’s the way Damon speaks and acts here.

It's a puzzling little film, in some ways it felt underwhelming and in others it was perfect--I found myself really charmed by the slow, almost wistful boredom that stalks many of the scenes. I'll have to sit on it to see how it ranks for me.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Anyone else notice how in The Last Duel it's basically the same story told three times with only little differences?
