10 Awesome Movies From 2017 You Probably Missed

If your opinion of Robert Pattinson stems only from his work in those sordid Twilight movies, here's a film that;s bound to win you round to the actor.

Because Good Time, a taut thriller of the throwback kind, helmed by brothers Ben and Josh Safdie, might well contain his best ever performance. As sleazy criminal Nikos, who goes on the run with his mentally disabled brother after a botched robbery, Pattinson is virtually unrecognisable. He's repulsive and magnetic all at once, powering this shifty (and frankly strange) crime tale from start to finish.

Though the film was met with great reviews - it was even nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes - it didn't make a huge impact at the box office, and a limited release meant that nowhere near enough people have got round to watching it.

What makes Good Time so interesting (save from its killer '80s score) is the way it subverts your expectations at every turn. Just when you think you've got a grip on where the plot is going, the film changes direction, resulting in an experience that is both frustrating and exhilarating. When it's all over, you're bound to be left with a feeling of "What did I just watch?", but in the best way. A future cult classic.
