Obscure-Thought

Nothing is overall gritty, most scenes are cut well shot well and almost clean to the point of a window display at Macy's. That is neither here nor there, but it creates a world that begs to differ, what the story may be about the air that surrounds it.  Willow is by far my favorite film and it's story, scenes, script are shot effortlessly well.

In this instance, Knives out is better, even though Johnson directs both and includes a stellar cast. There is something missing in the second...
