Saw this last night perhaps it was the hype or the animated crowd at the theater I was but I just found it aight.The actors were great but it's not really a horror at all. Other than when he hits the maid I didn't jump once. They do a good enough job building the world/tension but it seems once we get the explanation the party was over and we're subjected to "the black man they wish they never messed with".
As he took each of them out it felt like there was an act that should have come before it where he faced something seriously grizzly. You can't go from aloof, sardonic, to curious to panic to stone cold killer in one fell swoop. Him "hearing" of his fate just isn't enough of a perilous situation to have him seek each of them out like that it just didn't compute.You act in that manner when your feet are to the fire and you just snap, he killed them all cool calm and collected and before we knew it it's over. Felt cheated, otherwise a decent watch
I don't think he was "bad" didn't hurt the movie but they left money on the table. I feel like a better improvisational actor would have knocked it out of the park.
Maybe I'm asking for too much. But I think someone like a young Will Smith or Jamie Foxx would be amazing in a role like that. A better comedic actor, nationality probably isn't important now that I think about it
you aren't being serious, starting to think Ray/collateral and any given Sunday were flukes. Dude has varied from mediocre to horrible in everything else he's been in
