Claudia: I loved Daniel Radcliffe! I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I left this film and I texted Danny and said: 鈥�*gasp* just wait until you see it!鈥�

听

Danny: The director is very over-excited, the performances are sturdy. It can鈥檛 decide what kind of film it wants to be. It鈥檚 got this incredible historical nugget at its heart, this true crime story. But it tries to be the "Rugrats History of the Beats."

听

Kevin: The act of writing is dull to watch visually. The mistake that the first half of this film makes is to show you a film about creative writing, which is nail-my-face-to-the-seat dull.

听

Claudia: I found all of it moving and it was laugh out loud funny. It鈥檚 absolutely brilliant.

听

Danny: 听Alexander Payne is the perfect director for this material. It鈥檚 beautifully made and often very funny, and also very brave.

听

Kevin: Alexander Payne may be the only director with not a syrupy bone in his body, at every point this film could have reached the emotional jugular it took a left turn. This film and its world view worked.

Danny: Sharlto Copley delivers the most embarrassing performance in cinema history. It鈥檚 incomprehensible. It鈥檚 so incredibly joyless.

Kevin: There鈥檚 a million ways you could approach this film and every one is a criticism.

Claudia: I had high expectations. I wanted to like it. I didn鈥檛 like it enough.

听

Danny: Jason Statham, James Franco, written by Stallone, Winona Ryder. This film should be fantastic. It鈥檚 not fantastic.

Kevin: It鈥檚 a script that has been knocking around for ages, it feels like a lovely innocent throwback to the eighties, it鈥檚 a gorgeous eighties action movie. There鈥檚 a soured drug deal at the start, an attempt to lay low in the middle and then a bullet laden climax at the end. Job done. Statham is being relentlessly charismatic throughout.
