One of the best films of 2017 that nobody saw. Say what you will about Robert Pattinson, he's phenomenal in this movie and you buy every single second of his performance. This film needs much more support and I can't wait to see what the Safdie brothers create next.

It is truly a disappointment that "Good Time" hasn't gotten more recognition, as it was my favorite movie of last year. I saw it in theaters last winter and then recently bought it on Blu-ray and re-watched it. It is even better the 2nd time around.
"Good Time" is a character-study, a heist film and it is a gritty odyssey across Queens all wrapped into one. And while all these elements are played completely straight, there are incredibly dark comedy moments sprinkled throughout. Somehow, in the midst of all these insane actions taking place, this film still has a heart at the center of it.
All the performances were fantastic, and all technical aspects were on point. However it seems as though this Safdie brothers project was completely overlooked. Still no love for small films with no backing by a giant major studio. Maybe if it were directed by Ron Howard and starred Matt Damon, it could've gotten a couple of award nods. But on that same note, the movie would've had no heart, no soul and no vision behind it.
If for some strange reason the directors were to read this review, I would just ask one thing: PLEASE DO NOT SELL OUT! Hollywood has a habit of taking independent film makers and then have them direct blockbusters (with highly variying success). Would I blame you if you did? No, I can't say that I would. But you two are among the best in filmmaking right now, and I cannot wait to see what project you have cooking next (sans superheroes, Star Wars or dinosaurs preferred).

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerGood Time tells the story of fractured love between brothers as they pull of a heist that goes wrong. The story is very interesting and has some great visuals. The ending is saddening but justified.The acting is very good. Robert Pattinson delivers the best performance of his career. Pattinson truly becomes his character and he commands the screen because of that. Benny Safdie, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Barkhad Abdi, and Taliah Webster all perform very well.The pacing is a little slow and the runtime is overlong.Pros; Great visuals, interesting story, saddening ending, amazing performance by Robert Pattinson, and good overall actingCons: Slow pacing and an overlong runtimeOverall Rating: 7.0
