Slingshot

For about two hours after the conclusion of this movie, all I could say was, “WOW”.

It lost a ton of money at the box office and has been panned by critics, but I felt it served what it advertised: This is a psychological thriller.

‍

Yes, there are massive holes in the plot, and it's true that a man like Laurence Fishburne's character would never be the captain of such a mission, but the fact that we are kept on our toes, that we're never sure of the truth is until the last few seconds, is fantastic.

‍

I can't share the premise or the themes without giving the story away, so I'll just say that Casey Affleck carries this film and does an excellent job of it.
