The performances are universally strong (4 more)
Stylish, patient direction
Understated when most films would go big
Unlike "Baby Driver", which has many similarities with this film, the central relationship is never suggested to be anything more than some casual relationship that gives the main character a chance at redemption
Carey Mulligan is as luminous as ever
It's about as deep as a puddle in a parking lot (1 more)
It is generally very overrated
A good, yet unacknowledged, remake of "The Driver"
Well, it's a remake of Walter Hill's "The Driver". Not officially, sure, but it just is. It annoys me that this was never really acknowledged, but it's a good one, so there's that.
Otherwise, it's a flimsy, but good little crime thriller that's generally overrated. Shouldn't stop anyone from seeing it though.

Not bad remake of "The Last man on Earth" which has elements of Charlton Heston's "Omega Man"
Smith is convincing as he wanders around a deserted New York and conveys loneliness very well, the CGI on the whole is good and the empty streets haunting however the creature design was a let down and not convincing enough, good but not great Sci-fi!

This movie (and the book) freaked me out so much as a kid (and certainly contributed to my coulrophobia). I went to see the remake and thought it was just as awesome (though Tim Curry will always be my Pennywise). I'm actually planning to read the book again soon, and then I'll watch this one again (with the lights on, of course).

I wasnt a huge fan of the original movie, however with the Coens onboard for the remake I was expecting good things.
All the signs were there and with usual Coen style this western was a move back to times of great storytelling and beautiful vistas.
With great dialogue and stunning performances from all players, this turned out to be very enjoyable.

Scared the hell out of me
As a kid, the original Blob scared the hell out of me. You couldn't kill it! Well, jump forward to this remake & it scared the hell out of me again. This one is much more gruesome & creepy. I still like it to this day. Hell, who doesn't like to be scared once in a while?
