Some have said this movie is the scariest film in decades, well I respectfully disagree with that claim by a few. Though this movie is definitely disturbing, unsettling, the uncomfortable feeling of pure evil watching you, several shots in this movie, I kept looking in the back of the scenes , feeling something was lurking. I saw this movie last night, and I am very glad, that when I went to see it, I didn't know much about the plot at all, which I like when the marketing/trailers hold back , I like that, makes me more curious about the movie. The movie held my interest from the start, all the way to the end of it. To be honest, I do not usually watch these kind of movies, but it got my interest because everybody kept saying how good it is. Maika Monroe , I thought did a good job playing Lee Harker, she is socially awkward with her co workers and other people, alot of the times she seems withdrawn, distant, and certain abilities make her ,more invested in dealing with this Longlegs murder case and trying to stop more killings. Thought Nicolas Cage did a very outstanding performance I thought, his performance in Longlegs is powerfully disturbing and , his character of Longlegs gives you fright from his first appearance and his presence is felt when he's not there , you not sure what he will do.

Civil War some parts of are very unnerving, unsettling, the movie hits right in your gut, hits you emotionally. Kristen Dunst's character, Lee is stoic her performance is really good, she is hard-edged, she's seen horrible things over her career as a photo journalist, but she and few other photo journalists want to interview somebody in Washington DC before rebels storm Washington DC. Kristen Dunst performance and her relationship to a newer photo journalist named Jessie played by Cailee Spaeny is one of the stongest parts of of the movie. Jessie hero worships Lee and wants to follow in her footsteps, and she tags along with Lee and a few others who go on a road trip to Washington DC. Cailee Spaeny plays Jessie with young enthusiasm, some naivety, but also throughout the road trip, she gets her eyes opened to the harsh realties of this world. Interesting thing, they never in the entire movie really clarify actually say what the rebels are against who broke away from the United States. It's very vague, it's never really said that I heard what the divisions that caused the rebels to fight against other forces, they toss bread crumbs , stuff the president did but nothing much else that I heard is ever really explained in depth. There's a certain scene with actor, Jesse Plemons, his character in this movie is only in for few minutes, but his scene, I won't give anything away, his scene his part of the movie is one of the most deeply disturbing, creepy moments of the movie and also eye opening for Jessie. There's this one scene where these rebel snipers are talking to the small group of photo journalists and one sniper makes a comment saying basically nobody is giving them orders, they just out pretty much doing their own thing shoot or shot kind of thing. The ending, not sure how some people are going to respond, react, feel about the ending of this movie.

Well looking over the other reviews by other IMDB users, I can tell lot of people have mixed feelings on this Bob Marley movie. Well, I saw this movie yesterday afternoon at a 3:40 showing, my theater wasn't packed, but their was quite a lot of people watching it with me. First I want to say I thought Kingsley Ben-Adir did a very good performance as Bob Marley, thought he captured his mannerisms, his personality, I think Kingsley Ben-Adir portrayed Bob Marley to the best of his acting ability I think. Lashana Lynch does in my mind a really great performance as his wife, Rita, whos a strong supporter to Bob Marley in almost everything he does, who's by his side quite a lot, or in his band, or coming to a studio to support him, to help him along making a new album, she's by his side through the most difficult, hardest, painful moments, to the good moments as well. There's this one scene in the movie, where Rita, and Bob Marley have a heart to heart outside of the a fancy club, where Rita calls out all of the stuff she has put up with, all the stuff she knows Bob Marley has been doing that may not be helpful to their relationship, and you can tell despite their somewhat conflicted relationship , they still love, care for each other. To be honest I am not completely knowledgeable about everything Bob Marley, know some of his songs, and know he is a very influential person and a few things about him. I did not know that their was an attempt on his life, well I saw that in the trailers, but I didn't know that before the trailers. Some people may not like how the movie, is not a straight up by the numbers biopic, actually I personally like how they do show some scenes from his younger past, younger Bob Marley meeting Rita, forming his band , and other moments that happened when he was younger, I had no issue with them going back to those moments in different parts of the movie. The movie starts off in 1976 in Jamaica during two political parties struggling, fighting against each other, and that's where the movie starts. Then goes through his , decision to leave Jamaica and the escalating violence during that time, and travel to Europe and then after making a new album , he eventually returns to Jamaica. Overall I thought they did a really good job with this movie about Bob Marley. I had no issues with the movie.
