I benefitted immensely from coming to this movie late and with few expectations. I suspect at its release, many people wanted Get Out 2: Get Outta Dodge and were pretty disappointed, but I had a great time
Yeah, there’s some bits from the start I would cut. And some bits from the end, and actually the middle too. In particular I wish Steven Yeun’s backstory mattered more than it ultimately did since we spent so much time on it.
But what a cast. What a great premise, executed so well. As we entered the third act with plans and diagrams and an elite team assembled, I was so hyped! And the movie largely delivered on that hype aside from some confusing logical leaps.
The full “Friday night encounter” sequence will stick with me for quite some time. A perfect 15 minutes of film.
