This was excellent!! A fantastic slow burn. Guillermo del Toro did a great job of executing the noir style. All of the actors brought their A game, but I think this is Bradley Cooper's best performance to date. Cate Blanchett was great too and Willem Dafoe is always on point.

But the real star here is the plot. Like some serious thought went into this. It played like Hitchcock and Rod Sterling decided to collaborate. I know some people will complain about the 2 1/2 hour running time, but I think the payoff was worth it. Some nice psychological character studies and relationship development that ramp up the stakes. I hope it gets more views because I really was the only one in the theatre, which is a shame cause honestly, I can't find anything to complain about. Can't wait to hear what others think of it.

10/10 for me.

I give it a 7/10. felt a bit too long, but def more fleshed out than the OG. it just lost a bit of steam to me near the end. of course the production design was incredible being a GDT film. cooper was incredible in that last scene.
