GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Michael_Elliott 30 for 30: Collision Course: The Murder of Don Aronow (2013) This fifteen-minute short starts off talking about the rise of Don Aronow, the man many considered to be the greatest boat maker in history. We learn about how he got the business up and running and then things turn to his murder, which is still an unsolved mystery. The documentary points to the fact that Aronow was making boats for countless drug smugglers and we learn that one bad deal might have led to the murder. This is yet another very good episode in the series and this here manages to work perfectly well as a mystery. I thought the film did a fantastic job at really building up the mystery of the death by giving us various clues to what happened as well as a couple different options as to why Aronow was killed. It seems pretty clear that there was a hit placed on him but with one suspect dead and another claiming his innocence, the truth will probably never be learned. The film is certainly among the best in the series thanks in large part to some fine direction as well as interviews with the police doing the investigation as well as the only eyewitness.Episode: A-
