Classic Fincher trailer. I hope this gets an actual physical release because all of these beautiful shadows and blacks are gonna get crushed to shit in a streaming view of this movie.
Mank hasn't even had the BD that many of us assume is coming from Criterion, and it came out three years ago. I have a feeling if this ever gets a disc, it'll take years, sadly.

A fun movie. It makes you wonder how many other malignant and highly paid specialists with pretensions to morality there are out there.

What I did smile at in the movie was his multiple aliases on passports when travelling....and deliberate choice of tv sitcom characters...both Felix Unger and Oscar Madison (odd couple), Howard Cunningham (Ritchie's dad in Happy days), Sam Malone (cheers), Robert Hartley (Bob Newhart Show), Archibald Bunker (All in the family), Lou Grant (Mary Tyler Moore show n lou grant), Reuben Kincaid (manager in The Partridge Family) and George Jefferson (the Jeffersons).

The film is okay, pretty overrated in the reviews, the voiceover is a real damper on the whole film, the intro voiceover is VERY long, and most of those same things repeat throughout the entire film, which lends a certain dullness to the whole thing. The score, as expected, is mostly groans, burbles and beeps, thoroughly unremarkable is non musical in every way. Extensive use of voiceover is a dead giveaway for weak script.

I'd not read a thing about this beforehand, so im coming at it fresh, not from a perspective of reading any hype.
Was it a great film? Probably not, but it was a good film and very watchable.
That line about voiceover hiding poor script is a often-repeated soundbite but it's not true - when the voice over is fascinating doesnt matter how much there is if it holds attention and teaches you relevant stuff.
In this case, the voiceover didn't offend me, and the long sequence at the beginning built the tension nicely as he reads out his code in his mind while preparing his hit. I think that's the point of him repeating it later in the film, he was struggling to follow it.
Overall I'd give it a 7.8 out of 10. The ten-minute sequence at the Brute house was brilliantly filmed. The scenes with Tilda Swinton and then the lawyer and his secretary were also excellent.
Didn't realise there was a score - I thought it was all Smiths songs on his ipod. Lol

Voiceover as a whole, within restrained limits is not a bad thing, but extensive use of voiceover is well established as a screenwriting copout, and it is in this film. The film would have been MUCH better without telegraphing me his thoughts, repeatedly, not new ones, throughout the entire film, over and over and over again, it is very dull writing, spoon feeding the audience- "hey audience, I am a bad guy, let me tell you how, and I will tell you again in just a few minutes". Dull.

This pretty much sums up exactly how I felt about the movie. I just kept waiting for something more so the whole thing felt lacking. And I am a huge Fincher fan. Zodiac and Se7en are two of my all time favorites. But this felt like it was missing the hook. I also think the music hurt the film a little. I know they were going for more of a sound design approach, but I think a driving/building score would've also helped the pacing and dullness.
I may have to watch it again though just to see if he does blink at all lol
