I never write reviews but after seeing negative reviews I thought this movie deserved one.
This is not a feel good movie, it's not supposed to be. It's oh so very dark and emotional.
In short, it's about a character that joins the army without realising the consequences he would experience. Severe PTSD turns him into a drug addict robbing banks to make money for more drugs. And, not only is it about him, it is also about his devoted wife, who is determined to stick with him despite struggling with his PTSD and drug addiction behaviours. This struggle turns them both into drug addicts in a heartbreaking story.
All actors were great. But, in particular, Tom Holland outdid himself. He was phenomenal. Despite thinking I would only see Peter Parker, I completely forgot his fun persona and was engrossed in this dark and damaged character. It really makes you feel for him, and wonder what people are going through in their own lives.
Like I said, if you're looking for a lighthearted movie this isn't for you. But it is definitely recommended otherwise. 10/10
score 10/10
