We all enjoy taking the mickey out of Matt Damon, but the guy has crafted a very impressive career thus far and he’s not slowing down.
I love a good comedy / crime movie with an unhinged character or two, and in the George Clooney-directed Suburbicon we get to see Matt unravelling at the seams.
Let’s get a quick plot rundown:
Suburbicon is a peaceful, idyllic suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns…the perfect place to raise a family, and in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that.
But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. This is a tale of very flawed people making very bad choices. This is Suburbicon.
It’s a nice change to watch other people make bad life choices once in a while:
I’ll watch the shit out of this.
