Widows

The trailer looks really good. The reviews have been positive.

I'm not the biggest fan of Michelle Rodriguez, but Viola Davis and Colin Farrell will more than make up for it.

I think she gets mad when I call it a chick/heist movie.

Well it is but tell her at least they took a chance and came up with a different name.

It could have been called

Heat

Or

In Heat

Or

Heist

Or

Inside Woman


So at least it's trying to be original

Trying, and evidently succeeding, if the reviews are to be believed.

McQueen is eons away from the lightweight farce of Ocean’s 8. In a reality divorced from Hollywood fantasy, action can have deadly consequences.

[Worth mentioning that he also gave Oceans 8 a positive review]

I've never been sold on Viola Davis, but I'm clearly in the minority. She always seems more self-serious than actually serious to me. Melodramatic instead of actually dramatic. But that opinion is subject to change.

Women, who have no history of crime, all the sudden band together to defeat a group of hardened, lifetime criminals?

You're missing the important plot point where I believe they're doing it to avenge their men who were killed.

Little disappointed to be honest. Mainly because the story was unbelievable - as in, it was too ridiculous to believe.

Lot of closeups of people's faces. A few interesting cinematography tricks. Acting was good all around. Story just left a lot to be desired.

I don't know how Elizabeth Debicki's breasts are so large on her tiny, 8-feet-tall frame, but I love them.

That was a very average movie.

The breast scene kept it from falling below average.
