A Review of "Get Out"
Get Out is a psychological thriller written and directed by Jordan Peele. In this film a young African-American man, Chris visits his Caucasian girlfriend, Rose's, mysterious family estate. Which is scary all on it's own. But while at first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, he then begins to make a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries that might make him think he's losing his mind. Chris will soon discover that this is no average, slightly racist family at all.
As dramatic as that synopsis was, that is pretty much how the movie goes. This time I went to the movie that night it came out and I was pleasantly surprised that the theater wasn't packed. However, it should've been. While the trailer presents itself to be conquering racial divides it's really more about Chris trying to figure what's going down at that house. I've seen a lot of Daniel Kaluuya films and appearances in TV shows and I loved him in this film. Not to say that he was the best person for the role but he was pretty great. The film was well paced and intriguing and kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time. In exclusion the two minutes that I rushed to the restroom, but I was running to ensure that I didn't miss a thing. I'd give this movie a rating of 97. Yeah, I know, that's pretty high. Exactly why I recommend seeing it. If you're of age of course, it is rated R.
