Refreshingly, The Safdie brothers don’t ask viewers to see the alternatively neon and concrete world through Connie’s eyes, but to witness him inflict his will on others.

Ultimately, a strong Robert Pattinson performance is let down by this blundering thriller that’s an assault on the senses and the mind.

By exposing the falsehood of one’s presumption of power, the Safdies awaken viewers to the inescapable consequences of their actions and weaknesses, along with the vulnerability of their own fate.

Good Time is a frantic ride, but at the core of the film is the brothers' relationship. Both are desperate to get out of New York and start a new life, even if they have to borrow and steal to achieve it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 21, 2022

Pattinson exudes pure energy, as though he's leaped into the role so completely that Connie has taken over.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 17, 2022

Josh and Benny Safdie recapture the scuzzy immediacy they brought to their 2014 documentary-style junkie drama Heaven Knows What, but this time they inject the action with a thrilling nervous energy and drive.

"Good Time" grabs the viewer by the back of the head like it has a fist full of hair and drags us along.

| Original Score: A | Jul 1, 2020

Anchored by a career-best performance by Pattinson, it's an unforgettable work that will rattle you in all the best ways.

| Original Score: D | Jan 11, 2020

A fun, fiery, fatigue-defying ride.

Pattinson once again proves his abilities to disappear into a fully fleshed out characterization, here as a selfish yet sympathetic deadbeat.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 10, 2019

For the most part, you'll either be rolling your eyes or laughing uproariously. Either way, the final scene, which continues as the credits roll, is so unexpectedly gracious and tender that don't be the least bit surprised if a couple of tears spill.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 26, 2019

An impressively audacious piece of work...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 10, 2019

The con man's lament

| Jul 22, 2019

What follows is one of those all-night-long odysseys that's taxing for the characters but weirdly fascinating for the viewer (think Martin Scorsese's After Hours or even Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 21, 2019

A near-perfect blend of colorful cinematography, frenetic editing, and pulsing score; creating a grungy, rave-like aesthetic that is like nothing else we've seen on screen this year.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 4, 2019
