GET OUT

Directed by Jordan Peele
Screenplay by Jordan Peele
Starring by Daniel Kaluuya as Chris Washington
                   Allison Williams as Rose Armitage
                   Catherine Keener as Missy Armitage
                   Bradley Whitford as Dean Armitage
                   LilRel Howry as Rod Williams




After three less than average films we finally have a good one!!!

Believe the hype. It is pretty good.
No spoilers, so that may make this quick.

So much is right here.
First the acting is wonderful. From the newcomer Kaluuya as Chris, who is fantastic!! To even the supporting players who play the ...I guess....creepy others. Everyone gives a great performance.
The script by Peele is really strong. The trailer makes it seem like a horror film but in reality it is a thriller with just the right amount of comedy.

Negatives?
Just a couple.
-I can go back to my last review of Cure For Wellness.
 Dude get out!!!!! When you are outside and a man be it white ...black...green...blue is running in the dark at you....GOOOOOO!!! Call Uber tell your girlfriend after you leave we will talk later by phone!!
-The ending got a bit loose. A surgery, that seemed to not fit the script, almost like they had trouble finishing. It felt like it came out of nowhere.

Still, don't be turned off. When you buy the ticket for this film you expect excitement and some laughs and it sure delivers with both.
4 1/2 stars out of 5 stars for the best film of the year so far.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
