no thread? ethan hawke and a kid from texas.  100% rotten ‘maters.

 

[Bevo&Pevo 5,220]

The oldest daughter and I would be in for this.  The rest of the fam would be more into a minions movie.  Sissies.

The wife and I watched this last night and we thought it was great, highly recommend.

[KaiserSoze 998]

I saw it yesterday- great movie, super intense.

Would this be suitable for 17 yr and 14 yr old girls? Just normal kids not hyper religious or anything. Also is there any nudity/sex as the wife still fast forwards non nudity sex scenes in Netflix shows even if only with the 17 yr old.

I don't have kids so I might not be the best judge of it but I think it'd be fine for a 17 year old... not for a 14 year old though- I think it might be a bit much for that age. There's no nudity or sex, but there's a bit of brutality (in case that matters). 

Great movie, but I found it to be VERY intense.

You can always look up the parental advisory section on any movie listing on IMDb.com.

Saw it this weekend - really enjoyed it.  Liked the use of not just the music and clothing/hairstyles but also choice of video/cinematography to establish its late 70s setting.

Saw it last night.  It definitely kept a tense atmosphere throughout.  Enjoyable movie.

I took my 15 and 12 year old daughters. They enjoyed it. They like horror movies, definitely wouldn't break someone in on this one. Definitely lots of intensity, including some non-sexual child abuse. 

I thought the movie was great, esp Ethan Hawke.

This was really good. 16 year old daughter thought it was great.

I was skeptical how they could make a kidnapping story intense or scary; they did with some interesting creativity.

Enjoyable movie.

Looks like it's leaving theaters so if you want to see it on a big screen, do it soon.

Caught this last night. It was all over the place in terms of tone and a lot of it just really did not mesh together. It kind of wanted to be a teenager saves the day kid genre similar to Stranger Things, but then also had some real violence and horror elements.

There were also some really, really stupid and/or cringy parts of the movie. The entire plot line with Daniel from LOST was horrendous.

Hawke was great as always, but also seemed like he was in a different movie from the other actors.

All of that said, I didn’t think about work for 2 hours on a Friday night, and for that I give it 5 stars.

I didn’t love it. Thought it was kinda boring. Definitely not scary and not worth $20 for PPV.

This dropped on Peacock.

never got around to it during theaters .. .i love me some ethan
