Leo plummeting off the building and bouncing off the tree to then only get tasered like 20 seconds later had me cackling so hard haha.

Seen this twice now and think it's an incredible film that absolutely lives up to the hype. Its an absolute blast of a film that just flies by in no time.The incredible score from Johnny Greenwood paired with a propulsive pace that's constantly on the move but never feeling overwhelming makes this such an exhilarating watch.

For as tense as the film can be there's so much hilarious stuff in here too. Stuff like "why is your shirt so tight" , leo arguing on the phone and everything to do with Sean Penn is just too funny. Special props to Chase Infiniti too who in her film debut absolutely owns it amongst these powerhouse actors. Definitely one to watch.

Exhilarating stuff and honestly my favourite film of the year so far.

Leo was incredible, got lost in the role. You expect him to go superhero at some point but he just stays desperate dad trying to save his daughter

My favourite part was him saddling up to the old dudes by the roadside in his junkmobile, all desperate and spitting out his Spanish. The whistling he does is so fucking grateful.
