I did like a month ago. I didn't really know what to think when leaving the movie theater, it's very bleak, nihilistic and there's not really a story per se, it's more about the senseless violence in a post apocalyptic world, and what sense you make of it, there are no more rules, it's total anarchy.
It's well shot, the score is quite repetitive & unpleasant but I'm guessing it's what they were going for. Pearce is fine, didn't really do much for me, he's pretty much one note for the whole movie, he's the guy who's so pissed off at the world, that's basically it.
Rob Pattinson is the real standout here, he's playing this simpleton & has a lot of hilarious moments.
Scoot McNairy is totally wasted, he has a tiny role & isn't given enough material to make an impression.
I think the script is very weak, really doesn't do much, relies more on ambiance & atmosphere.
It grew on me just a bit more after seeing it, but overall, I just have conflicting feelings veering towards negativity about it, I kept wanting the movie to end because it's such a slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww slow burn & it's unpleasant to watch, there's no emotion anywhere, it's just violent & bleak & desperate.
Anyway, pretty much a huge letdown for me, I get what Michod was trying to do here, but this has nothing over Animal Kingdom. I'm kind of surprised it's fresh on Rotten since this is pretty much the exact type of the movie that should be divisive.
I think opinions from people other than critics will probably be though.
