The crime thriller is recommended by fans and critics alike
Amazon Prime boasts a crime thriller within its library that is hailed as Robert Pattinson's 'best performance' that fans of Mickey 17 should not ignore.
The film, Good Time, is available for streaming on the retail behemoth's platform. With Pattinson currently wowing audiences in the newly released sci-fi recently released in cinemas, it seems like the perfect moment to revisit another of his standout roles from the comfort of your own home.
First hitting screens in 2017, Good Time was helmed by sibling duo Benny and Josh Safdie, who also co-wrote the script with Ronald Bronstein. Benny even shares screen time with Pattinson in the film, before the brothers went on to create Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler.
In Good Time, Pattinson takes on the role of Connie, whose life spirals out of control when a heist goes awry, landing his younger brother Nick (played by Safdie) behind bars. The plot unfolds over one tension-filled night as Connie fights tooth and nail to secure Nick's release.
With an impressive 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Good Time outshines even the new release Mickey 17. Many reviews single out Pattinson's stellar performance, which many film enthusiasts believe paved the way for his roles in major blockbusters like Tenet and The Batman, reports Surrey Live. One critic enthused: "Anchored by a career-best performance by Pattinson, it's an unforgettable work that will rattle you in all the best ways."
Echoing the sentiment, a fan took to social media to express their admiration: "This (film) is really underrated. The movie has so much to say. It's genuine and pure in it's emotions. The feelings of the characters are so well portrayed that it's really heart touching. It will hold you so tight you won't be able to get away until the very end and only leave u wanting more. It's really something else. A beautiful experience one should not miss."

Very fast paced, Exhilarating, gritty, action packed suspense thriller. 100% worth the watch."
And yet another fan couldn't contain their excitement: "Amazing film! Having been a fan of the Safdie brothers since watching their mesmerizing Uncut Gems, I ventured into this film only knowing that it was his acting in Good Time that got Robert Pattinson his role in The Batman and what a film!
