I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie particularly the car chase scenes that had me totally gripped while playing on the big screen.

Initially I had my doubts about Jon Hamm being in this movie as he did such a great job in mad men. I thought I wouldn't be able to shake off his Don Draper character in this movie but within minutes I was enjoying his reinvented look and character. Jamie Foxx did not disappoint in this movie.

The story of this film is easy to follow, although it did slow down in the second act which dipped my interest slightly however the third act was strong combined with unpridictable ending. I would want to see a sequel.

Overall I think 7.5/10.

Highly entertaining film though did have a dip in the early second half. I would watch this again using my Limitless Card plus a sequel could be highly enjoyable!

It was amazing! It's the music and the car chases. Ansel Elgort is impressive. A very unique film. 8/10

Definately worth seeing. Maybe you could use a meerkat movies code and get 2-4-1 tickets on a tues or wed to bring the cost down a bit. If you want my code for this week then send me a pm and I'll send it over o/

Just watch it online mate ;)

Not a lot to go on whether you'll like the movie but I don't think it's particularly cinematic. There's not part of the experience you'll miss on the small screen, just £10.50 worse off.

Unlike say the upcoming Dunkirk where a cinema trip is essential.
