Do you remember 2002's "Signs"?
I remember being very excited to see it. It was a film with a scary, suspenseful premise, and some dashes of humour that it maintained for the first two-thirds of the film but then... it just sort of crashed and burned with a limp third act.
Okay. So I was very excited to see Jordan Peele's "Nope". And it was a film with a scary, suspenseful premise, and some dashes of humour that it maintained for the first two-thirds of the film...
Uh-oh.
I'm not seeing it. I'm just not understanding the great reviews of this film. The last third goes off the rails. Motivation goes unexplained and the way to survive these events is as silly as the one from "Signs".
There are things to like about "Nope" - Jordan Peele really does write fun, realistic dialogue and his "Gordy" sub-plot if nicely sinister. But... yet... Nope....
