Will watch!
Weird seeing Keanu Reeves in that type of role again.
It'll be nostalgic. But I have my doubts....
Absolutely. A part of me says that he wouldn't have been on board unless it stood test of time

Keanu? Probably. The other guy? Just happy to pull another Hollywood paycheck

Yes,

That should put pay to the "Keanu doesn't age" argument.

@antipodean The first thing I noticed too. Keanu looked older than he did in John Wick 3. Maybe it's because we have been used to the beard.

Probably accentuated by the fact they have styled him to look like the teenage Ted (or Bill)

think it was @Bones on another thread that recommended Three Identical Strangers...WTF.
Starts off like such a cool story, but things start going down hill as you learn more.

Is this on Netflix, I've definitely noted this somewhere as one to watch...
Also on the grim "should I watch or should I not" theme..
The two Corey's documentary,think I saw a thumbnail for it on prime maybe can't remember... Anyone seen it? -
@R-L I think it is meant to be, but doesnt show up on the NZ Netflix version...

finally sat in front of The Highwaymen last night
You know what? I thought it was great. I really like Kevin Costner. And Woody Harrelson as well. It felt like a Western with cars for the majority of it. It's not fast paced by any stretch of the imagination, but that actually just helps to build tension. The "I'm too old for this shit" isn't over done, and in fact adds poignant moments.
It's beautifully shot. The sets and costumes are on point. And there were some clever decisions. Leaving Bonny & Clyde as the point of the story, but relegated to faceless killers was fucking clever. Dehumanised them as they deserved. The scene with Hamer and Henry Barrow is fucking amazing.
4 bullets to the face out of 5 nightly pisses

You can argue about their definition of "mind-fuck".
As expected quite a few Christopher Nolan and David Fincher movies. And Kubrick films if you like him as a director.
From memory I've seen 55 of these over the years, some only once but others multiple times.

Any clear favs on that list? Your top 5?

It would depend on the genre and most of my favourites are well-known movies.
Crime/mystery/thriller - The Usual Suspects, Memento, Se7en, The Prestige
Sci-fi - The Matrix, Interstellar, Arrival
Comedy - Groundhog Day, The Truman Show, American PsychoIdentity, Split and The Game are underrated. James McAvoy is brilliant in Split.
