“This is an EXCELLENT and delightfully surprising movie. Its style is refreshing, its dialoque fascinating, the performances powerful, and the story is both energetic and fun. I just caught this movie at the sundance film festival and canu0026#39;t help hoping that A LOT more people get to see it. The amazing attention to detail by Rian Johnson (the writer/director) and the incredible performances by Haas, Zehetner, and especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt marks this very commendable film. I remember sitting in the theater before the film started, completely disappointed by the last two films I had seen the night before. I truly wasnu0026#39;t expecting to be wowed or even awake, but from the very first scene I had to keep u0026quot;my specs peeledu0026quot;. We just donu0026#39;t get to experience the feel of this movie anymore. I highly recommend it once itu0026#39;s out.”
