My streak of good films is at 5. It's a miracle!
The late Anton Yelchin, the hot Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat (Trust me, you know her, probably from Arrested Development.), and Patrick Stewart are the featured names in this Drama/Action? Action/Horror? Drama/Horror? Suspense/Thriller?
A punk band gets booked for a gig at an out of the way bar for skinheads. They have a great set, but shit goes south afterwards. Now they need to survive and escape.
The acting is great. The direction is mostly solid, but there's a couple of shots I think could have been done differently. For example: The layout of the bar wasn't really shown very well, which is a minor quibble.
I enjoyed how the characters behaved. They were both smart and dumb. For the smart things they did, they'd make one mistake. One rush of judgement and pay for it. That's on both sides of the story.
Another thing you'll notice is death is quick in this film. Really quick. There's no drawn out deaths. No impossible injuries that folks survive. No picking folks off one by one.
There are problems with the story, but the acting and premise made me not give a shit.
Jean Luc Picard drops the n word. That alone is worth the price of admission.
Man, losing Anton sucks. I'm starting to realize he chose good projects and didn't phone it in.
Good film.
