The movie starts off very pleasant with a romantic thrill that turns into an accident. The movie film goes retrograde. As you will experience a non-clarity modernized traditional film from this movie. The Character which is right on synchronize in survival. Becomes torn between a witness and a survivalist. This Movie becomes intertwined with a classic action-packed movie experience. It isn't your tradition of today's era actions, but is excellent in telling a story of opposites and unknowning people who you may encounter become wicked. The film deserves an audience of well delivered story of a man fighting to stay alive because he becomes a witness to a incident he never even knew about until they try to kill him. The actor becomes so real in his acting, and the story becomes clearer as you witness his story.

Most reviews are made by the people who lived where it was filmed and make biased reviews. Don't believe the low rating, if your not greek and are looking for a thriller/action movie, this is it.

A smart piece of slowly art among the commercial action films.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Are people blaming JDW for not being his dad? And those saying he lacks the charisma or depth for this part REALLY have me scratching my head. I was so completely engaged with the relationship between him and Vikander that I honestly didn't need it to be established any further. The charm, intimacy and chemistry between them was palpable and terrifically established with narrative economy. And surely the expression of his grief would be limited by the fact that, ya know, cops are trying to kill him. It totally fits the events as they unfold.

I found Beckett to be an adept, tight, steamrolling thriller that had me with JDW every inch of the way. There's an everyman quality about him that fundamentally makes me care about his characters right out of the gate. And while he's handsome, even his good looks are of the real life variety. The only thing I didn't like about Beckett is this odd, lukewarm, sometimes even hostile reception. It's strangely and completely unwarranted. I can't help but think his paternity has something to do with it, where he's not allowed a great superstar dad AND a great career of his own. No one is allowed that much luck, right? Keep going, Mr. Washington, and let your work ultimately speak for itself.

I liked the rythm of the movie. Greece (I'm Greek) was depicted accurately. Of course the script took some artistic liberty, it's a thriller after all. I liked very much the scenario... It wasn't too far fetched either.. sort of an alternative (and much more sinister) storyline of those turbulent times for Greece. Plausible though. The acting was adequate. And lastly a nice surprise was the music, kind of low key low fi which actually accentuated the suspence.

Go watch it, it's a nice movie.

I thought it was pretty good the acting was spot on and it had me on the edge of my seat for majority of the movie overall pretty solid movie I would recommend giving it a watch.

I am Greek and this was interesting. Nicely written Greek characters although poorly acted, good choice of filming locations. The plot is politically acute but the extend of the conspiracy over the top.

With the idea, lack of visual dynamic range, low angled long lens shots, and a slight increase on film grain; 'Beckett' feels like a movie that released decades ago, but actually works in its favour to provide some unique flare. After observing other people's views, I can safely say this will be an underrated, perhaps cult-followed kind of experience. John David Washington gives an overlooked performance once again that very few will recognise the merits of. He brings a lot of layers to an extremely traumatised character that undergoes quite the paranoid journey.

I know certain cinema isn't for everyone, but it's a damn shame people aren't giving or recognising the praise this film deserves.

If you want to watch a exciting action thriller - don't expect a lot, just watch :)

This was a great solid movie, I thought the acting was great all around, the ___location was also nice and it all felt real. We follow the main character as he tries to escape the police officer, and then the story develops from there and we find out what is going on and what it's all about. For a one time watch this movie was pretty good.

This is a good movie puts you right in the mind of someone who's in a foreign country & things go wrong, give this movie a chance deserves better reviews than the ones given, is definitely a hidden gem.

Suspense is sustained throughout

main actor CANNOT act (he should really think of a different way to earn a living) how can anyone give him a job doing this? Puzzling. Other guy embassy guy awful too. Greek actors ok here; Luxemburger lady by far the best ...

... and yet it still works

Greece is a stunner in this; you get a sense the budget might have been limited; but prob was not ... the camera work is sometimes ace and sometimes rough as duck. Ryuichi Sakamoto makes the music ?!? And as usual TOTALLY awesome

I keep thinking of Duel the truck film; the 1971 Spielberg effort maybe because of the constant threat ... not sure

Turns out it is a sort of "Deep State story CIA" etc etc Greek Police Deep State Greece etc etc

Ultimately very good ... could become a cult classic in time.

May be worth seeing what Ferdinando Cito Filomarino does next as only 34 at time of writing ...

...the quibbling nitpicking on here about this film is pathetic!!!! "Oh, no one would have done THAT!" Well this character (running on guilt and adrenalin) DID do "that"...

BE TOLD ffs!!!!

Must be so dispiriting making films to cop this carping whiney crap.

Great little thriller movie with tremendous performance by JDW. Thanks man for the energy you put into this.

This is a beautiful movie full of suspense and good scenario.

I'm actually surprised by the "critics" on here. A lot of angry people. Anyone see Bourne Identity before? Stop with the whining.

Acting was fine as was the intense situation. Some of the films are for creative license - and maybe too much - but still if you relax in a pandemic environment you will say ok, not bad.

So give me a break and cry me a river Oscar selection committee.

Sure the plot has many problems, but the style of direction, cinematography, sound design will make an impact on you if your right wing biases and American pride doesn't kick in while watching it.

People who are giving 1 starts were expecting a Hollywood style action flick where the America saves the day. But in real life, that's almost never the case. This story may be fictional but conspiracies like this are specialties of US intelligence agencies. Wherever in this world a left wing movement starts making waves, US state department does something similar to what has been shown in this film.

If you're okay with a medium paced suspense thriller, and not allergic to see right wing or America portrayed in a bad light, you'll enjoy this one.

Not sure on all the hate nor why this movie has a low rating. It's was quite good actually. I had low expectations, however I thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie had me engaged right the way to the end, very intriguing, suspenseful and just a plain enjoyable movie. John Washington and Alicia Vikander are also great actors and a joy to watch. Thumbs up from me! 8/10.

I normally watch movies base on the ratings but I figure I'll give it a chance since there was some decent A list actors and especially up and coming Washington. Though the screenplay was sometimes wonky the pace and premise was decent and intriguing. It's no Jason Bourne but then again it's a good if you have nothing to watch that would keep you in suspense.

It has that quirky, slow pace msytery thriller that builds up from the second act onwards. I guess one has to be familiar with this kind of story lines from the 60s and 70s, European cinema. John David Washington is great as usual since I have seen him on BlackkKlansman and Tenet.

My family and I stayed engaged throughout the film, and it had a satisfying ending. My husband and I recently returned from a trip to Italy and Greece, and it was nice to be transported back to that region for a short time, as well. Anyway, my husband, my son, and I all enjoyed this film, and chances are, you will too.

Beckett was a pleasant surprise. I hadn't heard much about the movie before it was released and decided to give it a chance. I was glad I did because it didn't take long for me to get hooked in. The cinematography, scenery and acting were top notch, especially Mr. Washington. I liked how this film was different than the normal everyday action thriller. The music was also well done with keeping you in the moment during suspenseful scenes.

Not sure who or why ppl would rate this 5.6 do they watch good movies? Perhaps they don't like being entertained at all. This film has it all drama from the beginning you would think it's a romance then the scene where your at a lost as to where the plot is heading then non stop suspense. I couldn't look away. Hang there and your in for a hell of a ride not to mention a very polished performance from Washington JR.

All in all, the movie is good. Its a good watch and John David actually made it worth the time. The acting was great and I don't agree with anyone who says that acting was bad. If you were in the situation and have a hard time explaining it because you have some mental barriers (from the story and director's narrative), its going to be exactly like this.

Story fell apart at some places, could have been a multi facet revenge thriller, that April is murdered by those after Beckett, the connection to Karras could have been a bit better portrayed. But its a good watch.

Started watching the movie without knowing what it is about, except a tragic car accident and a hunt. However, that pretty much explains the movie.

That being said, I really enjoyed it. The weird angles as some people called it are actually a great deal of cinematography. When Tarantino does things differently people are praising it, why not here?

The acting performance was superb. John David Washington is very charismatic actor. I felt ALL of his emotions. Some people criticized his lack of grief, and that he just acted irrational. Ummmmm, he was breaking down like 4 times, and of course the character would act irrational because he didn't care if he died. He was at a stage of shock. Have y'all not watched the movie???????

I loved the old school feel to it, the picture treatment, the cinematography. Everything just worked well together.

The ending was a little too abrupt for me, but other than that it's a definite recommendation.

This film has taught me not to consult the IMDB score when choosing a film to watch. I really enjoyed it and found myself continually rooting for the hero to get out of a sticky mess. Satisfying ending. Great on ___location sequences.
