A wonderfully stressful high tempered masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2016)

Whiplash is the definition of a high tempered film. This film has a very solid and fast opening, with a great introduction to the two main characters (Neiman and Tanner), where we quickly learn their positions in this film.
With its fast pacing, and its stressful tone created by the almost constant drum-music and the easy to understand story, this film will have your complete attention from the opening, and will have you sitting on your seat throughout the whole film all the way to its perfectly executed third act.
Unfortnately there are a few quite predictable points in the plot, which is why Whiplash is only getting an 8 out of 10, instead of a 9 out of 10. Whiplash is a masterpiece. A predictable masterpiece, but a masterpiece none the less.
