Much Better Than Average Shocker Film - 10 Cloverfield Lane

Rating: 6/10 (29 August 2019)

With a bravado performance by John Goodman, who should have been nominated that year (I mean DiCaprio for the Revenant? and Damon for The Martian?....please), 10 Cloverfield Lane takes you from the first five minutes and holds you until the last ten minutes (which, quite frankly, disappointed me). Suffice it to say the ending was overwrought and unlikely, but then again, the whole film is overwrought and unlikely, but extremely entertaining. I just would have preferred a different ending. The direction of the film is letter-perfect and Winstead gives a great performance as well. The story is well-written and is paced perfectly. A film that is much better than the former Cloverfield film.
