Review of God's Pocket

God's Pocket (2014)
7/10
Masterful actors performing in a less than masterful movie
15 May 2023
The good: how can I resist watching a movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman and John Turturo. They dont come any better and ofcourse it's a joy to watch them both perform.

But there is a catch, there is (almost) always a catch...

The bad: however magnificent these famous and masterful actors are, the movie itself is less than masterful.

Somehow the director failed to inject more thrill and cojones into this movie. With this story and with such great actors I had expected more fireworks, but this movie ended up being a little bit tame, which kinda disappointed me.

Still worth a watch, because of these wonderful actors, but the movie itself fails to provide for the real fireworks I was hoping for...
