Alright, so I watched "Brooklyn 45." You know, it's one of those seance movies. Not gonna lie, the acting was decent, and the whole 1940s vibe? Pretty cool. The plot had some interesting backstory, especially how it touched on the war and, like, the whole "necessary evils" thing. It wasn't, like, mind-blowing or anything, but it definitely got the job done. I'd say it's a solid watch, you know? Not something I'd rush to see again, but if it was on, I wouldn't turn it off. Yeah, good enough. Extremely digestible. Lol

Three months after WWII ended, military veterans and long time friends gather at the request of one of their own (Larry Fessenden). Supernatural elements prevent them from leaving until they are willing to satisfy the requirements for leaving. This is much like a play. It could certainly be one. Except for the front steps, we never leave the apartment that contains the characters throughout most of the runtime. Well acted all around but Fessenden and Anne Ramsey (as a former interrogator) really impress. Those looking for traditional horror may not be pleased. This is an emotional and psychological film dealing with combat trauma. There is a supernatural element but it's not the focus. recommended

Not bad But not my favorite Only for forget our time

The staging, props and costumes are great, the lighting is ok (horror films need to be darker), the actors have great skill, the problem is that the script is so bad that it's impossible to maintain disbelief after 30 minutes. The excuse for not leaving the room makes no sense. and after 30 minutes it's not a story about real people it's a farcical exercise.

This movie punches above its weight with solid performances and a fun screenplay.

This was a very tense and Creepy Horror Movie. This is a great example of how to do a supernatural horror film. The characters and performances were top tier. Tim Treakle

É um bom filme, lembra Hitchcock, com seus suspenses baseados em muitos diálogos e uma sala pequena. Temos aqui uma fotografia e direção de arte primorosos, até o fim do filme é todo trabalhado para remeter ao cinema da época. O roteiro nos dá bons diálogos, e nos faz pensar sobre muitas coisas..., mas a qualidade cai quando temos aqui um terror sobrenatural onde não convence o espectador a forma que as personagens lidam com isso. Tirando o medo de Bob, o restante lida com uma certa naturalidade e desdém. Depois, e eu acredito que seja o pior problema do filme, é que, tentando manter o suspense, a acusação nunca é realmente finalizada. Ou seja, ficamos sem realmente saber se a vizinha era ou não nazista (pelo menos não de forma concreta), e o final tomando o caminho que tomou, me faz pensar para que foi feito esse filme? Apenas para assustar, para trabalhar temas sérios, ou para manter o ódio ainda vivo nas pessoas? Mesmo a fala final ser algo pacifista, os atos não são, e dai será que o filme não acaba dando a mensagem que está tudo bem ser assim?

More entertaining WWII-era film than Oppenheimer. Competent, coherent, and un-offensive.

Painfully stagey. I was initially engaged but it became so hokey that I quit caring. I love b movies and wanted to like this. Very surprised by the high score.

More like a psychological paranoid drama taking place in one room the whole movie.

'Brooklyn 45' may not be a "big" movie, but it's a powerful one. Every actor delivers an outstanding, engaged performance that helps maintain the palpable sense of dread and paranoia from beginning to end. Ted Geoghegan's tight script gives the actors plenty to chew on while also touching on some surprisingly relevant themes without ever feeling divorced from its period setting.

Just horrible. A group of people sitting in a room talking about nothing particularly engaging. A lot of tell, instead of show. We are told a lot about characters, and they babble on, sip scotch, lock the door, and they Ghostbusters special effects kick in. This movie truly was a full load of "who cares." The pacing was slow, acting passable, we were given no reason to like the characters or even care about the store. Even the lighting bothered me. I felt like I was watching a movie filmed under fluorescent lights. Watch the first 20 minutes if you must but you've been warned.

If the script is clever, execution is stunned. Ghost post-war story devoid of scary resonance.

Brooklyn 45" is really a meditation on grief and the unfinished business of war as experienced by a group who struggle with adjusting to peacetime.

An illogical overcooked nonsense of a movie that tries to convolute itself into incoherent justifications for murder and torture. I want the time I wasted on it back.

The story was interesting I guess, but there was nothing remotely scary, creepy, or even suspenseful about it. The CGI paranormal stuff was horrible. The ending made no sense whatsoever. And the acting was SO bad. I felt like I was watching a play rather than an actual movie.

It's hard to find words to describe this movie's atrociousness. The plot makes no sense, and the acting is terrible.

An okay historical piece / horror film. There are some creepy scenes, with one scene being truly disturbing. It does feel like it is 1950, and I like the color changes at the beginning and end to not subjugate us to black and white just to depict a year. Pretty much the entire movie takes place in a single small room. The movie has some things to say about post-war PTSD, national resentments, forgiveness, etc., but it is all pretty cliché stuff.

He's just a military man, being his daily driver. But the statement that he is gone makes me think he should also sit down for the reunion.

What... I don't get it
