Nice effects though.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Thanks to Netflix for providing me with screeners for Season Two, they are always welcome!Season One ended with uncertainty when Bateman was stuck as a middle man brokering a deal between the Cartel and the local Ozark heroin dealers which went horribly wrong when they murdered Del, a Cartel boss.Season Two opens with this same uncertainty and pushes it to the max over the course of 10 episodes as people begin to crumble under pressure and new threats arise, morality really goes downhill and has a truly unsettling finale.We only really get two main new characters this season , as the Byrdes need to expand the operation further by attempting to build a casino, in pursuing getting it approved they have to turn to a wealthy local man to influence politics. I wasn't really a fan of his character but he does seem to serve a purpose, our other new character however is great, taking the place of Del(the now dead cartel boss) Actress Janet McTeer plays the Cartels supposed lawyer (who appears to be actually pretty high up in the cartel) she gives of an extremely menacing and creepy vibe in this role that seems to be written for her.Laura Linney's Wendy gets a really interesting arc over these 10 new episodes and goes to a place that I didn't see coming. The real star for me at least in Season Two was Ruth, played pitch perfectly by Julia Garner. She gets a huge amount of very emotional material as she tries to work through increasingly stressful situations, some of which are caused by her abusive father who has a larger role compared to last season when he was contained to prison.The season comes to a crescendo in the final two episodes where a lot happens but somehow it still feels well paced and really packs an interesting ending.Ozark Season Two is largely a great continuation of the first and sports some absolutely stellar performances & directing. from the looks of it , Season 3 is going to be very very interesting to watch.Ozark comes highly recommended, you can catch season two on Netflix worldwide on August 29th.Thanks again to Netflix for providing the screeners

I love how this is shot and the plot is constantly surprising you and going in dark directions you don't expect. Jason bateman was made for his role too, it's a perfect fit. I truly don't think anyone else could pull off his character.

Agree with the user called Serious Mayham that OZARK is 5 exceptional hours of entertainment stretched out to 10. But that's the case with most serialized drama isn't it? It's not about compression and distillation. It's about decompression. Elongation. Which is the antithesis of great drama. Welcome to the brave new world of longform storytelling, where every narrative has to be a taffy pull.But the first 2 episodes are definitely suspenseful. And the performances in all 10, particularly by Bateman and Linney, are first rate. And the cinematography is exquisite. The whole thing looks like a well-shot feature.But the story lets us down.

An interesting story with perfect actor in main role gives us high quality serial wich can surely become a good and not useless spend of time. The story telling in Ozark always lead to thoughts like ''What if it could have happened to me?'' Through all season you quastion actions of all actors. What they are doing, why they are doing it and what would you do at their place? What is right and what is wrong? How far you need to go to keep your family alive and survive yourself? Do you need to lie? Do you need to steal? Do you need to kill? Who you need to become? This show reminds me such serials as ''Breaking bad'', ''Fargo'', ''Better Call Saul''. If you love serious shows that lead you to think and you already watched all best ones, this one is definitely for you.
