Flinch

It opens with a man praying in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary. Joe Doyle is a hitman who lives with his mother, played by the scene stealing Cathy Moriarty. She is extremely proud of his efficiency as a hired killer. Joe kills a man, but is witnessed by the man's personal assistant. THis leads to a completely unbelievable story line with the killer examining his conscience the rest of the film. He keeps the woman in his bedroom with mom insisting that he kill the witness. No need to explain where it all leads, as right up to the ending, it is ridiculous. Don't bother with this stupidity.

The characters were very developed and the plot was something I wasn't expecting. New twist, loved it.

#FLINCH. I really love this Film. Its Superb and really Stylish. Technically Well made Film cinematography🔥, sound track🔝, performances😍, lighting, sound mixing etc ❤ Defentily Watchable movie

Mix of emotions with this one. First and foremost, visually and auditory excellence, the neon and synth soundtrack was much appreciated. Writing was pretty solid (though this was expected from a first time director, long time writer). Acting was a little all over the shop but the two leads did a fantastic job. The plot was great, though it fell apart toward the last 30 minutes, and got a tad predictable. All in all though, it didn't ruin the movie. I'd definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of action, with a more drama-esque story. Probably not worth a re-watch, but I didn't hate my time with it. A passable directorial debut from a solid scriptwriter.

Very simple plot but brilliant execution as we follow a story of a hit man who ends up in an risky situation due to the decisions made after a hit.

The cinematography and score are brilliant as they convey an 80s atmosphere although the movie takes place in present day. Easy story to follow with some twists and turns. Highly recommended!
