Highly Overrated But Still Good

As Good As It Gets

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

So it's good. Very watchable. But.... I really think that given the fact the 'idea' is from a movie that's from a book making this 4th hand is kinda lazy. The sepia dusty desert look. The sound of track(I swear they just lifted from Fargo, True detective, the jazz drums??). Thrown in Breaking bad cast and a Mexican cartel, well u get the picture. This plainly cost a shed load. So why not push the bar higher?.

Excellent writing - clever, sharp, black humour with a wonderful tender and terrifying performance by Chris O'Dowd

Huge fan of the movie and love the reboot of the idea for the show. When I heard Chris O'Dowd was the main guy I already knew it would be great. I can't think of a better guy for this role... and the rest of the cast is great. Ray Romano is perfect.I was so happy to hear this got a second season.. hopefully has many more!

Okay so who isn't an Elmore Leonard fan? And someone who cant find a relate in the baddie trying to get clear story arch is someone who uses entertainment to torture themselves anyway...but adaptations of a movie into an entire season of episodes is a tricky thing to nail... And yet, boldly, almost impudently, it squares off with such vaunted notables as Fargo and doesn't blink. An Amazing cast and screw tightening almost unbearable drama mix and froth together with skill and precision, like watching two armies rush together on the battlefield; They merge then begin to fractal out into swirls and eddies multiplying the interactions exponentially and wielding their predictability to deftly augment expectations so that in the end we find ourselves spinning in the wake, breathless and drained yet slightly giddy at he kernel of thought forming up inside you. That yes, there is a strong chance you've just been ruined for all others by the Titan now sloshing away from you, towards the horizon, as you turn to your loved ones, or whoever else is around and and do nothing to impede the grins rictus-ing your faces.
