Saltburn (2023)
If U Love To Hate Barry Keoghan...
This twisted film has many jaw dropping moments. I could not stop watching, despite my extreme dislike of Barry Keoghan characters - especially THIS one, Oliver Quick. I think the whole cast played their parts well. Fennell did a great job of presenting the old story of privledge/envy/desire in a haunting and different light. I'm not sure how this got categorized as "comedy", dark or otherwise. I see satire but it's not comedic. Anyway, all this being said - I'm not sure I'd ever watch it again, I'm not even sure I LIKED it. I guess I just couldn't look away. I can't say I'd recommend it... so I'm still wondering how I watched this all the way through.
The Killer (2023)
A Boring American Psycho
I'm a Fincher fan so I was looking forward to The Killer. Surprisingly, it bored me. It brought to mind American Psycho, even though the main characters of each movie are two different types of people, and it lacks the shock and gore. Fassbender's monologue/narrative was dull as opposed to Bale's in AP. While watching this, I kept feeling like something was missing but couldn't pinpoint where/how; it could have been the 'acting' , maybe the story itself. Nevertheless, the bottomline is - I am disappointed. I suppose I can try to watch it again, because Fincher's films have never disappointed me and it is getting good reviews.
