Good movie. It has the feel of a Tarrantino film and was shot similarly to Pulp Fiction with the story being told from multiple perspectives. I'm sure there is some deeper allegorical meaning to the film but I was happy to just enjoy it on a superficial level.

People from different backgrounds all end up thrown together at a single hotel on a stormy night. The setup is common for a thriller. I think it presents novel twists.

Great acting.

I'll take you word for it, but it looks dumb from the trailer. I saw a preview for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Monday. THAT looks good.

Just watched it about a week ago. It was fine enough. I guess I thought the thriller or suspense aspect of it would be larger. It was very well acted though.

It was pretty decent, better than any of these gay ass comic book movies you goofs watch.

Really, really like this movie.

It is amazing how this MANY stories are brought together so cohesively.

I hope Disney allows Drew Goddard to make the X-Force movie he was going to make for Fox before the sale.
