What...a...movie! So the film is set around the mid 1980s and when there was a shipment of cocaine to be distributed but in the total midst it gets into the wrong hands...or in accurate sense, wrong paws. What totally blew my mind was that this movie was based on a true story but much like most adaptations, this one expands on how much was true while at the same time is used for comedic horror filter. The story itself spans an entire day where it focuses on several individuals ranging from a drug dealer (Ray Liotta), a mother who doubles as a nurse (Keri Russell), a detective (Isiah Whitlock Jr.), a sheriff (Margo Martindale), and a pair of drug smugglers (Eddie Ehrenreich and O'Shea Jackson Jr.) who are all somewhat connected to this one similar situation.
At first when viewing the trailers, it looked intense with the cottage being presented and from what this movie viewer can tell you, it was a lot more than not only I could handle, but a lot more than what everyone in the theater could handle. I used to think that the Evil Dead movies were gory but OMG this takes the entire cake. While it had a lot of gory scenes, it should be worth noting that there were a handful of funny moments in the film too. It had me howling with laughter at times when first seeing it.
On a very sad and unfortunate note here, this was known to be Ray Liotta's last film he was involved in before he passed away during production. But he really does put in his best as well as the other actors and actresses involved in this film.
All in all, the story was insane and intense all in one, the cast really made the story believable, and the film itself had me at the edge of my seats. I recommend it but at the same time I was thinking to myself, "how does one recommend something like that?"
You heard from me, fellow film fanatics. Once I get to see it, I'll give out the honest opinion and keep y'all informed.
