Tyrel

"this year's Get Out" biggest joke I've ever heard. This movie has 0 suspense, 0 horror, 0 thrills. Absolutely Garbage. No other way to put it. Biggest waste of an hour and 25 minutes I've ever seen.

This is a well-made film about something genuinely interesting in real life: the little mystery of why young men so often feel the need to appear ghoulish even when they're basically decent. Maybe it's the same reason people watch horror movies: to play with scary stuff in a safe space.

Unfortunately, while making a faux horror movie out of young men's faux horror might make a nice point, the result here is altogether too much safe space. At almost no point do these guys seem genuinely threatening and the only trace of jeopardy is the risk of alcohol poisoning. Well-written, shot and acted though it all is, the whole thing feels basically pointless.

It's a vibe. It's realistic. No there is no crazy ending but that's not the point. The racism in the movie is real life. It's uncomfortable but without the crazy ending. I liked it. I liked how it left me like "What the hell?"

One of those films that looked interesting by the plot but comes up short in the end. That being said, there are good performances by the lead Jason Mitchell, Christopher Abbott & the great Caleb Landry Jones of Get Out fame. Tyler his name in the film feels out of place by how a bunch of guys act when drunk and partying for ones birthday and some choice words taken out of context can come off creepy while others were in reality poor taste to some degree. Still, the other guys at the get together are not far right or even textbook republicans but a group of guys being guys and acting dumb while not over analyzing things, which are done today constantly. These guys are anti-Trump and essentially a bunch of white guys being guys in and only environment. No ill will is hanging around ourside of Tyler who just feels out of place. Mitchell sells this well. Anyone who is a guy knows things let loose when around each other. Comparing this to Get Out is a bit of a cop out even though Tyler feels like an outsider until he makes a fool of himself later on. I take away the decent to good performances but not much else. A better script would have helped but this is not a waste of time if you just take in the film in itself.

This movie follows the story of a young black man in a a group of hard partying but well meaning white guys. It's deadly accurate in setting the tone of what that feels like but kinda falls short in the end. Kind of like a more realistic Get Out without the sci-fi twist to it. A good watch if you've ever been in this situation before!
