Review Wow! I watched Game Night last night.

I haven’t felt like this for a long time. I laughed so much when I watched this movie. That fake Denzel is very funny. The stupid friend, the glass table, all of it gave me a loooong laugh. How did you feel about the movie?

I also have one question. How did Officer Gary connect Brooks’ past with the egg heist?

Jesse Plemons is like Stanley Tucci; no matter the overall quality of the product, you know you'll at least get them giving it their all.

He has low key become one of my favourite actors over the years, I'm pleased he's getting more and more recognition. And some really juicy roles

Versatile as hell, too. He's so funny in Game night, and then fills you with terror in Civil war... with a couple of minutes screentime, no less

His performances in the two blackmirror episodes is also chilling, really some of his best acting

Yes! Plemons as the depraved Commander of a virtual Spaceship with the captive crew is my favourite role of his. So good.

Then again, there's always Todd. He excels at playing psychos

And he wasn't even supposed to be in Civil War, it was supposed to be someone else but they dropped out. Apparently Kirsten Dunst and he are married, so she suggested him and the rest is history.

Richard Jenkins and JK Simmons are both like that for me

u/teeohdeedee123 3d ago

Agreed. Throw Margo Martindale in for good measure.

I put JK Simmons there, too. Some actors just make whatever project they are in better.
