Imagine watching a movie set during the revolutionary war, and you find the story riveting. And you are really invested in the characters. And then suddenly a soldier takes out a Bic disposable razor to shave. And then suddenly you remember that it's just a movie, and that somebody missed the memo on making the movie appear to truly be set in revolutionary war times. That's what it felt like listening to the dialogue in, "The Offer".
"Love you", "love you more" "Are we good?", "We're good" "You got this!" "No worries" "We'll that was two hours of my life I'll never get back"
None of the jargon/idioms above were spoken in the early 70s. But when you watch 'the offer', you'll hear these words and other modern jargon just like it, peppered throughout every conversation. It's distracting. It's also really lazy. It's poor writing.
Having said that, the story is awesome. Matthew Goode steals every scene he is in. And if you loved "the godfather", this is 'must viewing'.
