Good Time (Ben & Josh Safdie, 2017)

Robert Pattinson carries on with his desperate flight from Twilight by taking a detour into Vincent Gallo country as a loser with a mentally retarded brother who messes up a bank heist and is then forced on the run. Surely, this premise is getting to be a genre of its own and truly fossilised as a topic, but Good Time does have the not inconsiderable saving grace of choosing not to take every prescribed turn along the standard path of the bungling robber, including resisting the temptation to ramp up the violence to ultra levels, just because everyone else seems to thinks you need to. Honourable, if somewhat insubstantial.
