A good movie

Since I really enjoyed 'Spider-Man Homecoming', I was really eager to check Jon Watts's previous directing effort, especially since it was available on Netflix. Well, from a seriously limited concept, he managed to make the most of it and I really enjoyed the damned thing. Indeed, even though it started as some kind of black comedy, it eventually became a thriller and even though I had my doubts on how it would all end up, it actually worked fine. Concerning Kevin Bacon, he was in top shape as he delivered another solid performance. I can imagine that Marvel chose Watts to direct their reboot of Spider-Man as he did here such a fine job to direct these two small boys. Still, it must have been a huge leap to go from such a small production involving only 5 characters and barely any location to a big Marvel blockbuster but this gamble paid off handsomely since it turned out to be the best Spider-Man installment so far. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, to conclude, even though it was nothing really groundbreaking, it was a solid minimalist thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
