This movie is also more of an experience, forcing us to feel the intensity of the story told with both: a wild and always moving script and filming basically in close-ups.
About the protagonist: a great performance from Pattinson, disappearing completely as this low life new yorker in a mission.
But after a brutal start that goes off for 45 minutes (more or less), the movie starts to lose a bit of its strength. The style , while great, didn't cover a story that started to go in circles to nowhere, with an ok but lacking ending. Still, good movie and good ride.

Intense ride
Today was a good ...
Day? Was it though? And for whom? One may almost think the title was chosen ironically. Now maybe it was meant for the viewer ... you know having a good time watching it. But that would depend on your defintion of it. You really do have to have a love for low budget movies, otherwise ... maybe stay clear from this.
Robert Pattinson gives a performance that will very likely be far removed from what we see him do in the new Batman movie. And that just goes to show you his range. While a movie he did for Netflix (he was one of many talented actors involved in the project) was ripe for people to make fun of (I actually enjoyed it), because of his accent ("Laz"), here he plays a character who is way over the top crazy.
But he still manages to make him likeable. You kind of root for the guy. Of course that also has to do with the person he is trying to do these things for - he seems like a gullible guy who gets into trouble, because of Pattinsons character ... a weird little gem/nugget of a movie - surely not for everyone to enjoy.
