November Criminals (2017)
Rated PG-13
Starring Ansel Elgort, Chloe Grace Moretz, Catherine Keener, David Strathairn
Directed by Sacha Gervasi
The Story:
When Addison's (Elgort) black friend is gunned down while working, the police suspect possible gang activity. But Addison proclaims from the rooftops that his buddy wasn't into drugs, wasn't in a gang... and he begins his own investigation as to what really happened. All the while, he becomes closer and closer with Phoebe (Moretz) and she assists on his crusade for the truth.
Well, the trailer didn't seem that bad, so I figured why not?
Man, this movie wasn't sure what direction it wanted to go.
It's the most agonizing coming of age murder mystery angsty teen romantic dramedy you're likely to see.
But really, there's nothing to see.
I may have not been wowed with Elgort's big break, Baby Driver, but I would definitely watch that one again before ever bothering to try and get through this one.
It's a movie that continues to push the limits of suspension of disbelief every few moments, and each reveal just makes you shake your head like, "really"?
Great cast hampered by a movie that derails itself trying to be some ambitious movie that's about something, and ends up being nothing at all.
If you've got Amazon Prime, it's now streaming. I'm pretty sure you can find something better to do with your time though.
Final Grade: D
