Tense, immersive and almost perfect

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2020)

This movie was real close for me calling it perfect and giving it a 10, you know I obviously liked it.. but read on to find out why it was shy of a 10.
Acting/cast:
Wow! he cast is absolutely awesome. A ton of great well known a listers that did so well at their interesting and bad ass characters. Ryan Reynolds seems a bit too awkward at times but I liked that he was subtle with dialog. Characterization was top notch, and you really get a sense of tension, fear, thrill and so much more just from the acting. I really liked the relationship between the protagonists as well. You really care for all the characters and love the ride.
Music/cinematography:
Hear is mainly where it goes shy from a 10. The music is way way off and is in my opinion not a good fit for the scenes. It's like edm futuristic music but for what is dramatic or relaxing scenes. Not all the music but most. Next the scenes and shots were great but my main gripe was with that insanely crappy shadow scene near the end.. it's a shadow that looks like a blob, and they play it in the most climatic part, it was frustrating to say the least.
Story:
Here's where the acting and plot make for what is a thrilling, intense and beautiful piece of cinema. The action scenes are really well done and spine chilling. The drive scenes and for a car guy like myself are satisfying. My only gripe is when ryan rammed that car 2/3 into the movie once in the rear and then t boned, the car looked absolutely fine.. not even a busted headlight. But besides that, I really enjoyed the plot. It wasnt too complicated but it wasnt simple either, it was a nice ride.
Summary:
If you havnt guessed already I really enjoyed this film and would highly suggest it. It unfortunately wasnt a 10 for me and had a few faults. But the overwhelming joy i had watching this easily puts the faults far behind the rear view mirror.
