THE PASSENGER Movie Review **SPOILER ALERT**

[@kellycasperhanson4426]

These guys are my FAVORITE movie reviewers because they're so genuine and never pretentious. And there's always some hilarious comments that happen so naturally. They're prepared, but not scripted and they hit the right balance. My DREAM would be watching a movie with them🤩.

[@sandythemaster6898]

''we can have popcorn for dessert'' Joseph, your reaction💯

[@joanietails]

That Kurt Cobain sweater symbolized Benson’s angst and foreshadowed his suicide. I couldn’t get past it the whole movie. I kept saying to myself, “why would This guy be wearing That sweater?” Well, that’s why lol

[@VolcanoGroupie]

Completely agree about Kyle Gallner. He has been on my radar for several years.

[@bo2720]

I just watched this and I said to my friend. He's not typically handsome but this actor is one of the most sexy screen presences I have ever seen!

[@VolcanoGroupie]

@@bo2720 I agree - he has charisma 😁

[@TechnicJunglist]

Love this guy

[@Elementra31]

I have liked him since Veronica Mars.

[@abaliagoob]

so happy to hear this was great! kyle gallner is one of the few men i'd consider a scream king, happy to see him flourish!

[@clara7920]

I recommend you guys to review this a month or so ago. Glad you’re reviewing it. Thank you

[@joedixon1186]

Nick's facial expression to Joseph's confusion about Taxi Driver was hilarious.

[@elizabetha.188]

The popcorn had better be Harry and David Moosemunch 🤩

[@Cookie12670]

I have really liked Kyle Gallner since Veronica Mars. He’s a damn good actor. I’m so happy for him because he’s finally getting some respect and the roles will only get better.

[@jennhack8043]

Wow...Beaver❤

[@cosmicvibez666]

Kyle Gallner gave an amazing performance in that religious horror movie by Kevin Smith called "Red State". Highly recommended to anyone.

[@mpicewe3023]

Thanks. Had thought that was a political film from title so stayed away. Will give it a watch.

[@shitisbigtime]

I’ll have to check it out. I’ve seen him in a few other movies where he was great and stood out but didn’t have this big a role. I thought he absolutely crushed it in this one

[@BookMaven9]

We just watched this movie and it was excellent! We need more small independent films!!!

[@bex.jackalope]

thanks for putting this on my radar! love you guys 🩵

[@wanya_telborn]

Wow Nick great commentary on this one thanks you’re so sharp ❤

[@cooper1st]

This sounds like a definite one to see, along with some of the others that Nick mentioned at the top of the video. Thanks guys!❤

[@YungNic]

if you guys wanna review a GREAT Kyle Gallner movie, you guys NEED to watch "Red State" starring Him, John Goodman, Kevin Pollack, And Melissa Leo. Its VERY DARK! VERY SCARY! But VERY FUNNY at times, as well... not sure if u would consider it a horror, but its real Tarantino-Ish, thats for sure 💯

[@docsnake]

Kyle Gallner is lit. I became a big fan after seeing him in Dinner In America, he's so versatile.

[@jennhack8043]

Thanks from Australia, guys💖👋🇦🇺 I just got to watch the movie on Foxtel❤...I really enjoyed it and your review. Subscribed!

[@asunnynight9592]

Wait. Joseph watched a film and..liked it. I need to see movie asap. ☺️💜

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

I’m living for that Liz Taylor shirt. ♥️

[@TheStacyJamesShow]

Best review I’ve seen on this movie, love the in depth discussions, keep up the great work ‼️🖤‼️

[@interloper2558]

Another great review. Although I'm surprised no one mentioned how low-key darkly funny this movie was 😂When Benson asked Randy in disbelief whether he took his teacher's eye out as a 7-year old while Randy was sitting there experiencing extreme emotional turmoil 😂And Benson acting like Randy's super messed up, and that such a crazy thing happened to a child, but that he would let it dictate his life... when he himself just killed a couple of people and is merely peeved at it (a facade, but still). I'd love to recommend everyone check out Dinner in America in which Kyle Gallner plays an oddly similar character and also goes on something of a roadtrip with an unwilling companion... except that was a romcom 😂

[@mikki3740]

I thought this movie was quite good! Though we're not shown why Benson beat the everloving crap out of Mr. Shepherd, yeah I suspect the teacher bullied or abused Benson, as the triggering incident that kicked off this whole episode was bullying, and Benson didn't want to talk about it, probably because he was afraid of looking "weak." Benson also appears to have a hyper intense need to completely dominate everything and everyone. He appears to be threatened by any self-assertion shown to him, even when its warranted, and you wonder what powerlessness he must have felt that has created this obsessive need to dominate others. Even though he's a monster, I had sympathy for him by the end.

[@sighbatsu]

I like watching Kyle Gallner in a lot of things, he's in a ton of horror/psychological work from my teens and now late 20's. Glad to hear you guys liked this film I was thinking about watching it myself.

[@puspavelai8353]

Ooh! You broke the piece(s) of 'situations' down so fittingly for this genre I think! The way that made it feel, like a ball of thread just, unravelling, or fraying at it's seams? Creepy guy 'journey' through another😅...liked the poll quotes too😊

[@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets]

I stopped watching your review immediately after you said liked it and watched it. I really liked it. It was suspenseful because Benson was unpredictable. Both Actors did great jobs. The jump scare got me good. The ending was solid. No twist needed.

[@lostinthereel]

I am so excited to see Kyle Gallner take on meaty roles like this... its definitely his time for some recognition. But, I really did not like this film... it just didnt work for me in any way (on an emotional level or thriller level). Im glad you two were able to enjoy it though!

[@kellykelley2649]

Thanks for the review! Now, I have to see this. Grazie!

[@eritaka420]

I'll have to check it out men. Just got out of my 3rd round of rehab. You are still the Best. Thank you

[@DobrieLov]

Still waiting for Joseph’s review of all the Hobbit movies. 😂

[@AmarisFrede]

Interesting story. Thanks for reviewing! 💖

[@cinemaghost3149]

Wonderful review gentlemen as always. Altho I did feel like this was a gay film, just in its subtleties. It feels like the internalised homophobia of alot of men from rural towns. Also Benson was totally falling for Bradley, but just in a predatory way. and Bradley finding his moment in the diner with that bisexual lighting was everything

[@interloper2558]

I too thought that the subtext was there and toxic masculinity fueled Benson's character. Seemed especially prominent and cut that way going by the trailer and other people's comments on it. Like, Benson projected his own insecurities onto Randy but at the same time was too protective, empathetic, and intimate for it to not be queer on some level. Not to mention possessive.

[@cinemaghost3149]

@@interloper2558 100% agree. This movie felt like the last day of an abusive relationship.just from Bradley's perspective, watching his partner explode on everyone for the last time

[@loandbehold650]

3:30 Kyle Gallner was also just in Smile

[@1neOfN0ne]

They mentioned him being in Smile along with Scream 5

[@jujutaylor2186]

I'll watch Kyle gallner in anything anytime anywhere. Been a fan of his since his Veronica Mars days

[@bo2720]

The glowup of his carreer is parralel to the glowup in his looks. Its getting better and better.

[@floridaboykane]

I think Mr. Shepard touched Benson back in 3rd grade…that’s y he beat em so bad, it was way too personal

[@jonhuntplaylists5001]

Wow what a surprise this was. I went into the movie completely blind knowing nothing of what the film was about, and I have to say it’s one of the best films I’ve seen in a while. An outstanding performance from all the cast, particularly Kyle Gallner who was captivating. What a breath of fresh air to see an original story, that appears to concentrate on storyline and characters rather than political virtue signalling. However my one minor criticism is that it appeared a little restricted in terms of budget. So the final act lacked a little grandeur when it really would have helped in terms of impact. Not really the fault of the film makers or actors though. Overall, I was blown away like a shotgun blast from close range. I tip my hat and applaud everyone involved, with the exception of whoever gave this such a low budget to work with.

[@karenvonclezie4678]

looks violent AF

[@KnightsWhoSayNi222]

Benson was very much a Tyler Durden, and even dressed like him. I thought that was going to be the twist the whole time, he created benson in his mind so he could actually stop being such a push over and enjoy life

[@ToxicBeauty2023]

What's funny to me was him listening to yet another mother even though it's not his mom. I felt him tho cause I would have given her that phone too like umm I didn't kill anyone so go ahead and make your call 🤣. Then when he's babysitting he had the nerve to teach her daughter how to play the same game that took her mother's eye out 🤣 like I would be so traumatized that those big erasers wouldn't be allowed in my house at all 🤣

[@connordebruler3264]

I'm so excited for this movie, looks like something Jim Thompson would have written if he lived today.

[@LatexCult]

Brilliant movie!

[@christinesmith7810]

My youngest son’s name is Carter Smith!

[@MadailinBurnhope]

this sounds interesting

[@MarcosSouza-rr5ns]

I think this is the first positive review I’ve watched on the channel! 🤣🤣💕 I’m shocked!

[@TheStacyJamesShow]

Although benson definitely snapped, I don’t think it was his first time killing. I thought they’d get more into it but just based off his reaction and the way he breaks down the police response time and shit, yeah, definitely not his first body

[@mpicewe3023]

Complete surprise classic for me. This really reminded me of those taut 70s action films only with multiple layers added on. Anyone who dismisses this as just a violent shooting movie from description (Guilty myself) will miss out on a movie with much more depth than you would have assumed. At under 100 minutes well worth giving it a chance though calling this film extremely violent is probably an understatement.

[@Mustafa-yw6kr]

legend movie

[@LMason-qd7sq]

Why is the school open on a Saturday?

[@cnashford2]

I was thinking that too. And giving out addresses? 🤔 Chile

[@thelifeofgio]

saturday school, maybe? My high school used to have that for detention purposes or to make up credits. but then I remembered it’s an elementary school lmao so honestly idk

[@addictstatic]

💯💯💯💯

[@jessesmith0]

This movies was so good but it could’ve been even better. The concept was super unique but the way they wrapped up was to quick and they didn’t delve into bensons backstory or trauma

[@mpicewe3023]

I disagree. It was clear that was one trigger and his mother looked like another. This film was 99 minutes. Perfect length.
