Movie Review - Get Out (2017)

Get Out (2017) - Finally got chance to watch this highly acclaimed and extremely successful (in box office) gem. With a mere $5 mil budget, it has amassed $173 mil in US box office alone.

No A-list casts;

No A-list director (maybe he, Jordan Peele, will become one after this);

No big budget;

No problem!

The plot is kind of direct and simple (but have an very interesting satirical take on racism), the casts are brilliance, especially Daniel Kaluuya (as Chris Washington) and Allison Williams (as Rose Armitage), the way the mystery are being unfold (layer by layer) is suspenseful and intense (especially the final 20 minutes or so).

Personally, I like movies with unexpected twist, this one got at least 2 major twists and I like the second one better than the first one.

As the movie title implied, we would expect the main character to Get Out (from the "Sunken Place"), but how? That's the question..

My rating : 4.5 (out of 5) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
