Movie Review - Widows
Widows is a tightly wound drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat with perfect pacing, incredible acting and spot-on directing. I want to give kudos to Joe Walker for the amazing way this movie was edited. In the opening scene, he takes us from a sexy bedroom scene to a chaotic police shoot out, and back to the bedroom, then one more shot of the chaos. And all of this flowed almost naturally. I never felt confused -- and if you ask my children, confusion is a-natural state for me.
The acting was awesome. It would be hard to pick one stand-out performance, since everyone did exactly what they're supposed to do -- wow us with a perfect interpretation of their character.
With Gillian Flynn's outstanding screenplay, I was never bored. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Flynn would throw a curve ball that seemed to take the movie in a whole different direction. That's superior writing! The production value of Widows is so polished you can almost see your reflection in it. Don't miss the opportunity to see a truly flawless movie. Hollywood isn't making a lot of those anymore.
