Good Job

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2018)

Andrew (Miles Teller) wants to be a drummer. Not just any drummer, but the best. One that will be remembered. He attends a music conservatory which features an instructor (J.K. Simmons) that makes most drill sergeants look like a wet-nurse. Andrew worships this man and wants to play for him. At home he has successful brothers at college and must compete for attention at the dinner table in spite of any accomplishment doing the "drumming thing."
It is an odd film where the instructor is the antagonist. It takes an hour and 10 minutes to build character and take us to the point where the plot suddenly turns into what seems to be a different film.
The film has a great climax which supplies us with no closure. The acting jobs were great which took a story about a kid who wants to slap sticks against mylar into an Oscar winner.
Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
