Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
coldbutsocold Absolutely loved this movie. So glad I gave it a go, I had checked it on IMDB few times before seeing it and yep, great movie.Love the style. Really really enjoyed it.Thanks very much Mr Director and all those involved. Really awesome acting throughout.
billcr12 The writer shows his Tarantino interest when he uses Mr. Pink and three other colors during a scene from Reservoir Dogs. Four college kids assemble for a daring robbery of a library with valuable books and art work. The boys are complete amateurs who manage to get together and go through with their audacious plan. The plotting is hilarious and the actors are all very good. I will give away as little as possible in order to keep the suspense. It is not as good as the aforementioned Tarantino masterpiece, but is well worth your time.
merelyaninnuendo American Animals3 Out Of 5American Animals is a character driven heist feature that is nothing like your usual heist for its cunning methodology is beyond the shallow ideology that it attempts to achieve. It might be safe but the stakes are higher than ever (unlike any other features, it does communicate and creates the anticipated impact) and it might be honest but is undeniably unstable. And the primary reason is its way of fumbling on landing on any sequence at a definite point which leads to and effects similarly in its final act. Having said that, there are few moments shot with such excellence that it leaves the audience in an awe of it where the awareness of Layton; the director is so sharp and precise, of its created bubble which doesn't pop but explodes like nine dynamites on your brain. Layton's metaphors barely works in fact if anything it gives away the intensity and credibility whenever its subtle nature starts to fade away. As mentioned earlier, the tale is more questionable for the audience, on terms of adapting a rigid structure for them to hold on to. The sound effects are sweat-drop effective with stunning camera work that accounts in the surrounding appropriately with a chunk of crispy visuals. Layton; the writer-director, has exceeded its script with brilliant execution skills that foliates with essential emotions on screen. Peters is as loud as he should be while Keoghan stands back and inhales in wisely and portrays with conviction.The writing is gripping, if not smart and adaptive if not layered, as the makers might suggest. The catastrophic incidents, the chemistry among the characters and insanely hectic subjective procedure are the high points of the feature. American Animals is an accurate capturization of humane behavior at its peak and pit with no commercial threads manipulating or mutilating it.
adonis98-743-186503 Four young men mistake their lives for a movie and attempt one of the most audacious heists in U.S. history. American Animals was nowhere near as good as i was expecting it to be plus to be honest? i was expecting the whole 'heist' thing to have some heart and energy to it but unfortunately it didn't have any of that. The overall acting was also not as great as i was expecting especially from Evan Peters plus Blake Jenner's role was quite smaller than i imagined. It's not a bad film to say but it's definitely not as great as the trailer suggested or as i expected. (5/10)
