Good Time
After a botched bank robbery lands his vulnerable younger brother in prison, small-time hustler Constantine (Robert Pattinson) is plunged into the buzzing labyrinth of New Yorks underworld in an increasingly desperate attempt to free the only family he has. White-hot indie directors, The Safdie Brothers (Heaven Knows What, Daddy Longlegs) return with this deliriously unpredictable thriller.
With an award-winning score by Oneohtrix Point Never and breakout performances from Pattinson and Ben Safdie as his brother Nick, Good Time recalls the grit and urgency of 70s New Hollywood films such as Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and Dog Day Afternoon.
Critic Reviews:
- " Pattinson is utterly convincing as the Manson-eyed Connie, a manipulative force of nature (alternately mesmerising, repugnant and pathetic) who leaves a trail of destruction in his wake. " – Mark Kermode
- " The urgent docu-style filming is impressive, but it's Pattinson's fearless turn that lingers. " – Kevin Maher
- " “Good Time” grabs the viewer by the back of the head like it has a fist full of hair and drags us along. " – Brent McKnight
