1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>After successfully completing a string of high end robberies, a

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:09.599
<v Speaker 1>very disciplined and elusive jewel thief named Mike finds himself

3
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 1>in a bit of a pickle when his fence recruits

4
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>a reckless replacement as he believes that Mike has lost

5
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>his nerve for heisting. As if that wasn't enough, a

6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>dogged detective is putting all the pieces together and Mike

7
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is feeling the heat around the corner. It's Crime one

8
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 1>oh one. I'm Ronald Young Junior, and I'm leaving the theater.

9
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>All right. This is Ronald and I am leaving the

10
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>theater after seeing Crime one O one. Crime one O

11
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>one written and directed by Bart Layton, starring Chris Hemsworth,

12
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Mark Ruffalo, Barry Coogan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Lee,

13
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Nick Nolty, and Holly Berry and as usual, for complete

14
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>listing of the cast and crew, you can check out

15
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the link in our show notes. All right, Crime one

16
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>oh one. It is a film about a thief who

17
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 1>does not He is not a violent thief, but he

18
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>steals high end jewelry from high end people through I

19
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>would say threatened violence, but never actual violence. And this

20
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.199
<v Speaker 1>thief is played by Chris Hemsworth. The cop that is

21
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in hot pursuit of him is Mark Ruffalo. And it

22
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>was I think I was two thirds of the way

23
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>through this movie until I saw Chris Hemsworth and Mark

24
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Ruffalo and a scene together, and it clicked that this

25
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>was the incredible Hulk that I was looking at, which

26
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>was a nice little easter egg to see them together.

27
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And then there's Holly Berry who is She is an

28
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>executive at an insurance company. And this is really the

29
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>convergence of these three storylines, seasoned by appearances from Monaco

30
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Babaro and Barry Kougar as the villain, and Nick Nolty.

31
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.199
<v Speaker 1>This is a crime film. And when I think of

32
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>a crime film, I think of Heat. I believe that

33
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is from nineteen ninety six. Heat is ninety three, maybe

34
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>ninety five. I was so close. I was circling it.

35
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 1>You heard me. When I think of a crime film,

36
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I think of Heat. And the reason why is because

37
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Heat is a great example of what you could do

38
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>with a crime film and really how it goes. So

39
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 1>typically you have three heists in a good crime film,

40
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>three main heists. There might be other crimes that happen,

41
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>but there are three main heists. There's the one heist

42
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:53.599
<v Speaker 1>that goes fine, there's another heist that is botched, and

43
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>then there's the final heist, in which the climax of

44
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 1>the movie is dependent on. Most good crime movies follow

45
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>this format if you have more than three heists or

46
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 1>three criminal main criminal acts, and typically it's a heist.

47
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 1>But if you have more than three heists, typically in

48
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 1>one film, it's I mean, there's montages. It's weird. It

49
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't it doesn't necessarily, it doesn't really flow with

50
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the three act structure of a movie. Three heists are

51
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>good ways to push the plot along and keep things moving.

52
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I used to think that films that followed this format

53
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>were just knockoffs of Heat until I realized that they

54
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 1>probably realized the same thing, which is that this works.

55
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>This is what people want to see. They don't need

56
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>you to reinvent the wheel. In a lot of ways,

57
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>if you think about it, this is kind of how

58
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>sports movies go to You typically have three main games,

59
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and then typically somewhere in there there's a montage of

60
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>more than games, but there's typically a game at the

61
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>beginning that tells you some there's a main game in

62
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the middle that tells you something, and there's a main

63
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 1>game at the end that that is really for all

64
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>of the marbles, and we've learned all the lessons and

65
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the montages, and sometimes there's other games and stuff that

66
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.839
<v Speaker 1>are baked into those montages. The reason why this is

67
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>important is because it's to say things that are derivative

68
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>of Heat. I don't think are necessarily worse than Heat

69
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>or bad because of it. This movie has a lot

70
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of one to one in Heat. Heat is a movie

71
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>about a gang of criminals, whereas this focuses on one criminal,

72
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>mostly one criminal. I should say, Heat has a dogged,

73
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 1>haggard detective that's on hot on the heels of this criminal.

74
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Crime one on One also has the same thing in

75
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Mark Ruffalo. Crime one on One adds a few other

76
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 1>elements with Holly Berry's insurance lady as well as there's

77
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of an opposing criminal that also pops up. But

78
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 1>all of the elements that tie it to Heat, in

79
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>my mind, don't make it worse. As a matter of fact,

80
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>they make it better. I think this a good movie.

81
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 1>It was very good job of ratcheting up the tension

82
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 1>through the plot. I'm really in it with Chris Hemsworth.

83
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me a lot of the beginning of Drive

84
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 1>with Ryan Gosling, where he is a driver that is

85
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to help these criminals get away from crime. It's

86
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>obvious that Ryan Gosling knows what's happening and knows what

87
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 1>he's doing, very much the same way that Chris Hemsworth

88
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of this movie is obviously a guy

89
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that is capable, that knows what he's doing. The first

90
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>heist is always supposed to be pretty immaculate in order

91
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to kick off films like this. This one does a

92
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.639
<v Speaker 1>good job of that. I'm sitting forward in my seat.

93
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm having a good time watching that. As the action continues,

94
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.160
<v Speaker 1>there is a love interest that emerges, which is one

95
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>of my least favorite parts of Heat, but it does

96
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>good for character development. There's a part of me that's

97
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 1>just like, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.

98
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But the thing about having a love interest is that

99
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>it allows you to inde carry yourself more to the protagonist,

100
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>in this case, Chris Hemsworth. In this film, I think

101
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>there's two things that I got really excited about, but

102
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>they didn't necessarily stick. The landing on two things, one

103
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>police corruption and two Robin Hood. Robinhood. There's an aspect

104
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 1>of Robinhood to all of this, and those two plot

105
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>points made me very excited about what was being set up.

106
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 1>In the second act of this film, they don't quite

107
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 1>go all the way through with it. There's an officer

108
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>involved shooting around the middle of this film. As a result,

109
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Mark Ruffalo is told that he needs the playball or

110
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>he could lose his job, and then I thought that

111
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 1>this movie would take a different direction as a result,

112
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 1>because for me watching films like this, what I've often found,

113
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>especially in twenty twenty six, that it's hard for me

114
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 1>to ever root for the police anymore because the the

115
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>jig is up. We know, y'all aren't the good guys.

116
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>We know that. Now that's something that's factual that we

117
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>all know. A lot of people have done the reading.

118
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of people that still try to make

119
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you know cops are good all that, And I'm sorry, y'all.

120
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 1>If you've been listening to this podcast for a while

121
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and you to know that I'm not pro cop, then

122
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry that this is the way that you had

123
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 1>to find out. But this is who I am. I

124
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 1>just don't trust the cops. I won't talk to them,

125
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>none of that. It's hard for me to go back

126
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and watch reruns of Law and Order SVU without thinking

127
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>about the cases from the perspective of the people being investigated.

128
00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Of course, you pulled out an investigative unit that does

129
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.519
<v Speaker 1>all of this work to take down crime, but you

130
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>have to make the criminals the worst of the worst,

131
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise you never noticed that this entire division is a

132
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>little bit corrupt. I'm looking at you, Elliott Stabler, and

133
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.879
<v Speaker 1>you do, Olivia Benson. I'm saying all that to say,

134
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 1>when I watch a film like this, I always wonder

135
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 1>are they going to be honest about the cops. Are

136
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>we going to talk about closing cases CompStat the pressure

137
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that it takes for them to not do good police work,

138
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And they do in this film. That's why I immediately

139
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 1>got excited, because one of the obstacles that Mark Ruffalo

140
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 1>is up against in trying to solve this crime is

141
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>his own his boss, his own colleagues, who are all

142
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>just like we just want to close the case. What's

143
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the easiest path to closing the case? And for me,

144
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>That always means that we are going to whatever it takes,

145
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever the most obvious choice is, We're going to go

146
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for that because that gives us the bigger closure rate,

147
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>which is one of my biggest gripes with the police.

148
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I think The Wire, the show, the TV show The Wire,

149
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>does a very good job of covering this. I believe

150
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it is in season three. It may be at season four,

151
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's at season three, so it might

152
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>even be in season two. I don't know. It's the

153
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.919
<v Speaker 1>one where they talk about CompStat a lot. I think

154
00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 1>it's season three. Somebody go check anyway saying all that

155
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to say, as they bring this up and as it's

156
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 1>becomes more of the main plot, I got excited thinking,

157
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>oh great, this is a film that is not on

158
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 1>the side of cops. It's not saying that cops are

159
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 1>the good guys. We got to catch this thief who

160
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 1>is the bad guy. It is more morally gray there,

161
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>because I think in a lot of ways, a thief

162
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.799
<v Speaker 1>that is stealing items that are insured is a good thief.

163
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the greatest things that you could do

164
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.639
<v Speaker 1>because the fact that rich folks can ensure their items

165
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and get paid for being robbed is also another It's

166
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>another way that, and especially these insurance companies that are

167
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 1>charging these high premiums. It's crookedness all the way to

168
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 1>the top, but they are allowed to be legal about it.

169
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 1>So this movie is making some sort of attempt to

170
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 1>subvert that. The problem is it doesn't quite stick the landing.

171
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 1>When it gets to the end. I am mostly satisfied,

172
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't quite do exactly what I want it

173
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 1>to do towards the end, which is why my rating

174
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>won't be as high as I expected it to be.

175
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>When I'm sitting in my seat. The last thing I

176
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>want to say is that the acting in this movie

177
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>is very good. Every single actor that showed up clocked in.

178
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Everyone clocked in. Monica Barbaro clocked in, Barry Coogan clocked in,

179
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Holly Berry clocked in more on her in a second,

180
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Chris Hemsworth clocked in, Mark Ruffalo clocked in. They all

181
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>did what they are good at. And the more I

182
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>see Chris Hemsworth, the more I believe that he should

183
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:33.919
<v Speaker 1>be getting more. He should be getting bigger roles, he

184
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 1>should be getting more dramatic roles, he should be getting more.

185
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Oscar Z Roles is like, I think this is his

186
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 1>time to shine. I think that he is every bit

187
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 1>as good as his colleagues. I like that he is

188
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 1>not nearly as smug as Robert Downey Junior is in

189
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 1>every role that he takes. He plays a very specific

190
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:55.039
<v Speaker 1>role in this film that I really enjoyed watching. He's

191
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.559
<v Speaker 1>very evasive. He doesn't look people in the eye, but

192
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it's very subtle and something that you don't notice because

193
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 1>it's Helmsworth until someone points it out, and then I

194
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.879
<v Speaker 1>couldn't stop saying like, yeah, he is very evasive. It

195
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>does play nervous very well. It's doing well in this film.

196
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Even though he's supposed to be this like slick criminal

197
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>who knows exactly what he's doing. He does a good job.

198
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Mark Ruffalo Haggard great, that's what he does now. He

199
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>does a lot of Haggard. I have not watched Task yet,

200
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>the show on HBO, but I bet you he's Haggard

201
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 1>in it. I'm gonna go watch it. This is a

202
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>man that does not shame. He's down for the cause.

203
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I love Mark Ruffalo. He showed up, but I wanted

204
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to make sure I give some time to my girl,

205
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Holly Berry. Oh, Holly Berry, I'm so glad to see

206
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>you in a film like this in twenty twenty six.

207
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm so glad to have watched you span my entire

208
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 1>life with your career. She is very good in this film.

209
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>She has to do multiple things. She has to be

210
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>a woman in a workplace, in a boys club. She

211
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 1>also has to be capable. She also has to be

212
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:57.159
<v Speaker 1>good looking, but she also has to be aging, which

213
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>is like for someone to actually lean into that. To

214
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.519
<v Speaker 1>be in Hollywood and leaning into the fact that you

215
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>are aging while still remaining beautiful is a tight rope

216
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 1>to walk, especially for women that have to work in

217
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.759
<v Speaker 1>this industry right now. It means a lot of things.

218
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Holly Barry doesn't shy away from this. It makes me

219
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.519
<v Speaker 1>think about her entire career. Holly Barry has never been

220
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>afraid of looking sweaty. She's never been afraid of running

221
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 1>around being punched like. She's never just been afraid of

222
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>anything physical or meaty in a role. She is a

223
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.799
<v Speaker 1>true act thor. I was so happy to see her

224
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 1>in this film. I really enjoyed her and it felt

225
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>refreshing to see her. It made me think about all

226
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 1>of the starlets of the nineties and early two thousands,

227
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Julia Roberts. Okay, I really was only thinking about Julia Roberts.

228
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>But the point is. The point is Holly Barry does

229
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>a great job in this film. It's a good movie.

230
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a very very good movie. This movie could have

231
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>been great. This could have been four point five stars,

232
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 1>four point seven five, even five star. It had the

233
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>potential to be it. However, it's not a complete movie.

234
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>There are storylines that like don't really wrap up towards

235
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.039
<v Speaker 1>the end. There's some parts that are very unsatisfying towards

236
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 1>the very very end of the film, and I want

237
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 1>to say, like we're talking in the last ten percent

238
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of the movie, very very unsatisfying. However, the rest of

239
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>it really really worked. And for that reason. With all

240
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.679
<v Speaker 1>of that being said, I give this movie a three

241
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 1>point seventy five three point seventy five, not quite a four.

242
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that another version of this movie is at

243
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.799
<v Speaker 1>least a four, and another version of this movie is

244
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>is well above a four. Very good movie. You should

245
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 1>go see it. I don't know if you need to

246
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>see it in theaters unless you want to see all

247
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 1>of the people I named big on the screen but

248
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.720
<v Speaker 1>this is a movie that if you watch it at home,

249
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 1>in your couch with a blanket, with your with your honey,

250
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 1>or by yourself, you're gonna be like, man, that was Man,

251
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to watch something else like that? Else? Can

252
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I watch like it'll? It'll make you hungry to watch

253
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>something else that is also good. So three point seventy

254
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:10.559
<v Speaker 1>five of five stars. And with that, Leaving the Theater

255
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is a production of Oh It's Big Ron Studios. I

256

294
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 1>a new episode of Wait for It. I love this

295
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.839
<v Speaker 1>work and I want to keep doing it and direct

296
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a listener as an independent creator is the way to go.

297
