Ryan McNeilI had to crack a bit of a smile when I got this trailer before FURY. Here I was about to see a movie starring Mr. Pitt, and it’s preceded by a tease of some direction by Mrs. Pitt.
However, when FURY ended, I found myself thinking back on this clip and wondering. Where FURY was concerned, I saw a lot of potential, but felt that it was ultimately scuttled by tropes I’d seen in many movies that have come before it. In considering what we’re given here, I likewise see potential, but likewise wonder if that potential will actually turn into something that ultimately feels familiar.
I’m definitely in for this movie…but consider me going in a teeny bit more guarded than I would have before…
I’m really excited about this film! I heard it was a really great story – apparently Jolie lived right nearby the guy the story is based on, and it was after she recognized he was one of her neighbors that she got to know him and learned his story; hence, we have a movie. Definitely looking forward to this one!
I’m becoming a big fan of Jack O’Connell’s work so I will definitely be going to see this, although based on the trailer I share some of your reservations. Is that part of the Beasts Of Southern Wild soundtrack I hear half way through the trailer too? I love that soundtrack and have played it on repeat so many times – if this isn’t it, it sounds very, very similar.
I’m looking forward to this a lot and that’s mostly because of Jack O’Connell. I have been a fan of his since Skins and he was already so great in Starred Up this year. The movie looks quite stunning too. I *am* getting a little tired of M83 in trailers though :/
