This movie was amazing I thought. My girlfriend and I both walked out enthralled. She doesn't care for country but loved the soundtrack so much she got a bunch of it as soon as we got back

Was pretty awesome. The entire scene at the end was perfect. Shame this seems to have gotten such a limited release & very little press.

Just to reiterate: This movie's pretty good, it's a bummer it didn't get more coverage, and you should watch when you have a chance.

(I'd put it in spot 3 or 4 for me for the year: Definitely below Cap America 3 and Deadpool, fighting with The Nice Guys for #3.)

What are you, twelve years old? You're putting this behind two comic book movies? This is one of the best dramas that's been made in years. It's not meant to compete with movies like Deadpool for being a blockbuster, but as a cinematic masterpiece, there's absolutely no comparison.

Several of my friends saw it and they all rated it highly. Have not seen it yet, but I found it difficult to muster the motivation, as I have little interest in the setting and it looks like a sausage fest.

The genre really isn't my cup of tea, but like No Country for Old Men, I watched it last night and enjoyed it, Jeff Bridges did a great job.

I thought the same thing going in. I wasn't really that interested in what I perceived the story to be about, but once you see the movie, you'll realize it's nothing like you thought it would be.

You act like a film connoisseur and watch all these shitty foreign films but are going to turn your nose up at this film?

Yeah I really enjoyed it and actually I'd have to agree... I haven't seen a better movie this year yet.

It was good but not movie of the year or better than sicario for me. For non block busters I would say Nice guys was my favorite so far

I really enjoyed this as well. Not movie of the year, but really good.

I had no idea Chris Pine was in it, but at the very beginning of the movie I saw him first with a ski mask on, and I said, "Hey, that's Chris Pine!" Something distinctive about his eyes I guess (other than being dreamy). Good thing he won't have to resort to robbing banks IRL anytime soon.

I really didn't think Chris Pine could act until this movie (I mean really act, not just play Captain Kirk). He has some serious acting chops.
