Great film and man do I miss the 2010s throughout most of the decade I felt spoiled with the amount of great films that came out around that time across all genres. Movies like this were so under the radar that I wouldn't be shocked if it becomes a cult classic in the next couple years. I love where they took the story and the genuine mystery . As of writing this It's currently on Netflix and I reccomend it to everyone.

I've heard good things about this film and was pleasantly surprised that most of what they said was true. This feels like a a cross between "assault on precinct 13", "clue" and a lil bit of "the hateful 8". I like the cast and I appreciate that it's actually an R rated film not what most censor happy studios are trying to make R rated. The cast is great and feels like I'm watching a classic R rated midnight B movie.

This film feels like if Todd Phillips took some of David Fincher's and Martin Scorsese's tricks, took some story beats from legendary comic "the killing joke" (he used source material), and found a way to make an amazing film that is up there with R-rated films like "A history of violence", "Road to Perdition ", "Oldboy", "Blue is the warmest Color", and "V for Vendetta ". A great film that got undeserved scrutiny because of a no name journalist from a no name publication somehow convinced supposedly intelligent people to believe an atrocity would happen if they go and see the film (spoiler it didn't end up going that way).

Joqaun Phoenix is a great actor who played "Arthur Fleck" as a broken man who slipped through the cracks of 1980s Gotham. I want to make it clear I don't condone the things Arthur does throughout the film and I'd rather he'd gotten the help he obviously needed than what he ended up doing but the movie is based on one of the most infamous beloved villains in comics so the shocking moments were expected and needed. I not so humbly believe that this one of the greatest comic books films of all time .
