The film moves at a brisk pace and the magic heists are fun, but its use of misdirection for the final reveal that I felt was pretty silly wasn't the best. Would have liked more focus on the magicians, instead of a certain character{s} but I can see why they had to go that route.

a mostly delightful romp about life in a New York Kitchen filled with all the trial and tribulations you'd expect in today's melting pot of America. 40% of the movie is intentionally in Spanish, purposefully to show the actual realization of the supposed American dream. Most of the movie is shown thru, Luis, a chef and a bully that deserves to get his ass beat within the first 25 minutes. Rooney Mara, from Girl of the Dragon Tattoo stars as his American server girlfriend, much of the first half of the movie is them dealing with relationship problem that you already know of if you've seen any movie ever.

the second act of the movie, the director shows sharp conclusions of what he thinks of the food service industry, the class system, and leaving a few opinions for us, black men which he uses two examples, the first; some dude tries to get laid, its a swing and a miss, but at least he aint gay. The second, you know it when you see it, but in spite the setting being a grill at Times Square, aint too many black ppl in this movie, for all I know it was the same dude all along.

he saves his worst criticism for the average white man, once he can't hide behind his money, I'll leave those Easter Eggs for those brave enough to watch and tolerate the movie.

I fully expect this movie to be on everybody end of year list, and Rooney Mara to get her third Academy Award nomination, but the critics already hating on it, guess it's not white enough, 9/10 @Mr Hate Coffee @FlyRy @Bryan Danielson @Peter Popoff @Lootpack @TheNatureBoy

Rooney Mara is 40 and they way she got dragged in Dragon Tattoo, you would have thought she would have aged faster. with the black and white asthetic, she easily passes for 27, 28..... must be nice to be born on third base @Cheese McNair @I love Latina women @RennisDeynolds

Watched on Paramount+. Okay, action comedy with a couple of surprising elements. Would have liked it to be funnier. Could have benefited from better bad guys.

Yet another version of Jack the ripper.

im still waiting for the great ride share movie. Amber Alert (with Hayden Pantierre ) is as good as it gets, This about a taxi, a Mini Cooper SUV ($35,000 or whatever in pounds). Film goes thru great length to explain the two.

you get a good view of London in HD cameras at night. That looks really good. the problem I have is why would a cabbie care about heauxs or someone else's progeny. A cabbie, especially a London, know he needs to look the other way. Dude did time for being on the take at the job, apparently so much money he had to do time. So he knows shady stuff goes down.

the ending is pretty good, they give you enough misdirection to look in other places, though I probably should have figured it out anyway, 6.5/10

More impressive amounts of gore. These films aren't really scary, but do bring the blood and Art clowning around with the kills is fun. The lore around Art and the main heroine in this doesn't make much sense, but does give her a cool Halloween costume to wear for a large chunk of the film.
