i gave it a 4 stars on letterboxd coz 3.5 felt like a crime. i feel like this movie kinda went under the radar because aside from a singular reel and the letterboxd homepage, i ain't seen it talked about anywhere. it's a solid movie. dad would've probably loved watching it due to the sheer amount of harleys onscreen. meanwhile, i spent all my time giggling over mike faist and austin butler. how is he so majestic? tom hardy's fake midwest accent caught me off-guard because he sounds so uhh whiny w that voice? why's it so thin? but man, his character was something. that silent leader aura was great. i loved when they burned the bar down and the first responders didn't get in their way coz the vandals intimidated them. ahh the power trip. i predicted johnny getting shot 5-10 seconds before it happened. was kinda sad, but seeing benny cry over him w kathy comforting him was sadder—got a reaction outta me coz johnny was benny's father/mentor figure, and that hits my feels. seeing the last five minutes where kathy says what happened to all the original members made me kinda melancholic too. it's the thing with all great things—it has to end, or become worse. and become worse, it did. kathy almost getting r-worded was scary asf tho. i realised villanelle's actress plays kathy. she did great tbh. her midwest accent was the best out of all of em. n e ways yea, cool asf movie. was good seeing the actual photos of the club in the credits too. it's nice to know abt a lil moment in time.
