After second viewing, 5 isn't negative just FYI

Rating: 5/10 (29 October 2019)

After my first viewing of this movie, I was a little underwhelmed, not to say it was a bad film, I just didn't think it was anything special.
I thought it was a competently made film, and one thing I did enjoy was the cinematography and production design primarily of the city.
Performance wise, I'll have to break up the party and say the interrogation scene in the Dark Knight showcases a better and more intense performance by Heath Ledger than Phoenix's entire performance here.
I will also say copying shots from The Dark Knight (police car and city shots) makes me uncomfortable. I experienced this in the 'Let the right one in' remake and it made me squerm in my chair. I call it Karaoke film making.
For fans of Phoenix, I would strongly recommend 'You Where Never Really Here' also inspired by Taxi Driver, but a far superior film in every way.
You can now see this actually has a negative Metascore on IMDB, which only proves this film is nothing special for anyone well versed in film, and has been over-hyped by fans of this undoubtedly legendary character.
