-God's Pocket is about a horrible town where everybody is a petty criminal pretty much. One day, a murder occurs and things go from bad to worse when members of the thieving community try to figure it out! -It would have been a lot better if it were a dark comedy. Or just a regular comedy. Or anything not full of funny situations we are supposed to take seriously.
-The story itself is pretty interesting and the setting is even more-so, but the film has serious problems focusing on the story.
-The pace is kinda slow really, but the tone is pretty interesting and hopeless, which I think they were going for.
-The acting is pretty good. Philip Seymour Hoffman stars and he was really good in it! -The music is weird and doesn't fit. I like that.
-Did I mention it's not funny though? Really could have been a lot better.
-It is rated-R for some nudity and implied content. And language. I expected the language, not the rest.
-So if you like dark comedies that are not funny and have trouble staying on track, well that's probably none of you. God's Pocket is not worth watching. 6.5 because some of it did entertain me.
