A visual treat filled out by consistently stellar work from Robert Pattinson, Good Time is a singularly distinctive crime drama offering far more than the usual genre thrills.

Audience Reviews for Good Time

  • Feb 25, 2018
    Pattinson has crafted quite a career after starring in the terrible Twilight films and Good Time is another step in the right direction. Aligning himself with Safdie Brothers has proven to be a recipe made in heaven, the indie film is one of the best films of 2017 and extremely unpredictable. The storyline spirals out of control as Pattinson attempts to save his brother from prison and we move from one uncomfortable moment to the next. The film has this atmosphere surrounding it that keeps you glued to the screen, you want the characters to succeed but with each escalating beat, you just know this won't end well. This is a great film and showcases some up and coming filmmaking talent. I had heard great things and it didn't disappoint. Great character development and strong filmmaking. 24/02/2017.

    Robert Pattinson gives a fantastic performance in Good Time as Constantine Nikas, a young thief and urban outlaw who embarks on a downward spiral in his efforts to save his mentally challenged brother from incarceration. it's a mad frenzy of a film and definitely quite experimental in its approach to a crime thriller. Unlike anything I've really seen before, the wildly talented Safdie brothers have created a great film here. One of the brothers, Benny Safdie also gives an amazing performance as Pattinson's brother and definitely deserves recognition for this.

    Never before has somebody drinking a bottle of Sprite made me wince in sympathetic pain and terror.
