The Sunset Limited (2011 TV Movie)
7/10
Pretty good!
16 October 2023
The Sunset Limited is two guys in a room talking to each other for 90 minutes. They discuss the unique situation they're in, and then debate their differing views on the world.

And it's pretty good overall, even though I think there were risks of something like this being boring or pretentious. The acting from Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones helps immensely, because both are great here.

And I think the screenplay by playwright/author/screenwriter Cormac McCarthy is also quite good. It's overall not boring; maybe comes a little close to being overwrought on occasions, but I don't think that makes it pretentious exactly.

As a bottle movie, it's good. I've seen much worse, though have probably seen a few better, too. I think it's very easy to recommend for anyone who's a fan of McCarthy, Jackson, or Jones, and if you're a fan of all three (as one arguably should be), then all the better.
