Really surprised how good this was considering that Deepwater Horizon was blah. Really effective filmmaking on display with one of the best shootouts I've seen in a long time.

Really surprised this wasn't exploitive.

Great Trent Reznor score BTW.

coincidentally, i watched friday night lights for the first time ever recently and was pretty blown away. i don't watch a lot of sports movies and had sort of assumed this would be generic and feelgood like a lot of cheesy sports movies, but it was far from that. it made me psyched to see patriots day and a little sad i missed deepwater horizon.


>Great Trent Reznor score BTW.

i bet. that's a perfect match if it has a similar tone and execution as friday night lights, which i imagine it would given the subject matter.

would expect it to get a nod for editing. the juxtaposition with real surveillance footage was so well done.

basically, you're ALWAYS on camera somewhere in public.
