Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Good Time (2017)

Connie and Nick are brothers in the vein of George and Lennie: they're close, but Nick -- due to his slowness -- fully trusts and depends on Connie to make decisions. Well, Connie's latest idea is to rob a bank so they can get their own place. It doesn't go flawlessly. The rest of the movie is Connie trying to do whatever he can to get Nick out of custody, getting into situations that are each weirder than the previous, but never slapsticky or unbelievable.

It's a hell of a ride and one that made me realize that Pattinson's got some chops.

B+
