A Gripping Movie With Brilliant Action And Suspense

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2019)

God, this movie has been sitting on my watchlist for ages. The idea for it always sounded interesting, so I decided to finally give it a watch and holy crap, it blew me away. This movie doesn't feel slow. A lot of the movie is character's just sitting around and yet it feels so high stakes. I watched this movie before shortly after realizing Anton Yelchin passed away. This movie has charm in a sense. It's a movie I could see myself watching every couple years. My only complaints with the movie are from a technical standpoint mainly. The main problem is some of the dialogue is "mumbled" making it hard to hear. My only other complaint is that realistically, none of the character's have a backstory. However I give props to the film makers for making them seem memorable and like they had a reason to be there. Green Room is a great film. The only reason I don't give it any higher then an 8 is that they don't explore things that they easily could have. If this movie was 10-30 minutes longer we could feel some emotional weight behind the characters.
