In late-14th-century France, Norman knight Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) was stunned when his wife Marguerite (Jodie Comer) leveled an accusation of rape against his squire and best friend Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver). The events as recounted through the eyes of all three-through their culmination in the nation's last recognized trial by combat-drive Ridley Scott's historical opus. Co-stars Ben Affleck; Damon, Affleck, and Nicole Holofcener co-adapted the Eric Jager novel for the screen. 152 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Yet another Best Buy fail...

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not a Movie Review (movie is GREAT)...
Unfortunately, Best Buy spent about .01 seconds of thought in packing this and the slip cover and case came basically destroyed and ripped up.
Doesn't surprise me since it was sent in an unpadded envelope.
Seems to happen more and more. You'd think best buy would step their game up rather than go backwords.

How to ruin a great thing...
on January 16, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
The first re-iteration of IT was amazing...This totally ruined it. This movie isn't scary, it's just annoying. The CGI Pennywise demon was laughable rather than scary.
Get a copy of the first one, watch it. If you like it - stop there.

Like when you have to replace a family pet...

It's just different than the first one. Not better, different.
Bought this and the first Equalizer when they were on sale. I'd never seen either of them, but heard good things - plus Denzel is usually the same character in ever movie, so if you don't hate him, you'll be OK.
Turns out, he's the exact same character as any movie he has with a train that's out of control (he has a lot of those train movies for some reason)...anyways, he's just like that and John Wick smashed together.
Great film, pleasantly surprised. And I watched the first one, this one was equally as enjoyable yet totally different, which is good for a sequel. Worth the dough.

Sooo check this out...I'm 40 years old. That means this movie came out at the prime time of my life where I should've been watching it daily...well...at 40, I finally watched it for the first time. Maybe I was waiting for the gorgeous 4K transfer and killer audio for 34 years...

It's a children's movie for adults.

What a great film. Like a grown up and really violent version of Labyrinth (with David Bowie). This movie sucked me in. Loved it...but, don't say I didn't warn you about the violence if you're not into that...there's a scene with a wine bottle that is in the top 5 most brutal movie scenes I've ever seen...it's great!

I disagree with the dude on the cover...

Verified Purchase:Yes
The one camera move thing in this movie is pretty rad. Well, it's rad for about 15 minutes and then you kinda forget about it. Unfortunately, in my opinion the movie itself is just sort of meh. Not enough character development to really care much about them. Check out Hacksaw Ridge if you wanna be blown away by a war movie.
All that being said, this isn't a bad one or anything, it's worth watching, just not my favorite. Dude on the cover seemed to enjoy it tho, and I'm not on the cover...soooo make your own judgement call.

There's a reason a foreign film won best picture..

If you like suspense/dark comedy...this is the way to roll. Like you, I was a bit nervous about watching a subtitled movie, especially in the theater. But I'm glad I did. This movie is the shiz.
4K transfer is great. Don't hesitate.

Wow...this thing looks amazing! I was a huge fan of this movie when it was in the theaters...bought the dvd and bluray...didn't think it could get much better...but I was wrong. The 4k transfer is Dyn-o-mite.
