Review of Mississippi Grind (2015) by Jake A — 23 Mar 2017
This is a great comedy about friendship and taking chances. Reynolds and Mendelsohn have a great chemistry and also deliver amazing individual performances. The way Mendelsohn portrays emotions and feeling with his body is simply one of the best body acting performance I have ever seen.
Also the cinematography is genius. With plenty of medium shots and close ups the camera captures all the emotions and makes the scenes even more intense and the viewer feel for the character. What I also really liked was the fact that in this movie the younger man is a role model for the older man, which is a rather uncommon concept in this kind of movie.
And for every Ryan Reynolds fan out there, this is probably his best performance right after Deadpool ;) All in all I can say that this is a very well made movie that is less about gambling and rather about people and the power of believe and friendship.
