A cliffhanger

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2018)

Where should I start? This movie was beyond expectations in every aspect. It's about the story of 4 bank robbers who're astonishingly perfect in doing what they're supposed to, leaving nothing behind that could even give any iota of help to FBI in tracing them. The plot takes a twist when Ben Affleck falls for the assistant manager of the bank they recently robbed. They both start seeing each other and everything works smooth until Jeremy Renner, who also has done his role breathtakingly well adorns this film with his Oscar worthy acting, finds about it and a tussle develops between both the leads.
Rebecca Hall is wonderful as Claire, it fells as if she is really feeling her character and delivers each dialogue with a command which is captivating. John Hamm and Blake Lively have done their part well enough as the FBI S.A. and a drugged out mother of Affleck's child. Another brilliant performance comes from Titus Welliver as Dino who apparently coaxes Affleck to against the grain in the later part of the movie. Although his screen time is short but he does impress in every second he occupies the screen.
The film is evenly paced with a great screenplay. The chase scenes are a treat to watch. The dialogues are absolutely amazing. You'll miss out on something important if blink.
Watch it for the performances and for the twists.
