Robert Pattinson is one of the biggest actors in the mix right now. This year alone, he has five movies coming out, which is a record for the actor who has already done more than 30 films. But there is one movie that fans believe to be his best.
Good Time is a crime thriller film directed by Josh and Benny Safdie and written by Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein. It stars Pattinson, Benny Safdie, and Buddy Duress, Taliah Lennice Webster, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Barkhad Abdi in supporting roles. The film was released in 2017 and received highly positive reviews from critics, with praise for Pattinson’s performance, the direction, the story and the music.
The film’s synopsis reads: “A bank robber stops at nothing to free his brother from prison, launching himself into a nightlong odyssey through New York’s dark and dangerous criminal underworld.”
Good Time has an incredible rating of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics’ consensus states: “A visual treat filled out by consistently stellar work from Robert Pattinson, Good Time is a singularly distinctive crime drama offering far more than the usual genre thrills.”
A critic wrote: “Good Time is a frantic ride, but at the core of the film is the brothers’ relationship. Both are desperate to get out of New York and start a new life, even if they have to borrow and steal to achieve it.”
Another said: “Pattinson exudes pure energy, as though he’s leaped into the role so completely that Connie has taken over.”
