Comedian Jordan Peele, makes his directorial debut with “Get Out” a thriller that I most say I was very impressed with the result.
The movie centers on Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend Rose Armitage (Alisson Williams) who go on a weekend to visit Rose´s parents Dean (Bradley Whitford) and Misy (Catherine Keener).
During the weekend, Chris will discover the darksecrets in regards the Armitrage Family.
He will realize that his live it´s at stake and Rose´s as well. Now Chris will try to convince Rose to leave the house before it´s too late.
One of the things that I liked from “Get Out” was the story itself. Not only Jordan Peele directed a very good and frightening thriller but he wrote a very good screenplay as well.
I could see that Peele got into every single detail of this film and he crafted a very good screenplay and I am impressed of Jordan Peel´s directing in his debut feature film.
For a comedian to make a jump on directing a movie which is totally the opposite of what he does in his show “Key and Peele” it is really admirable that he took this risk but the result was very positive.
The acting of the film by the cast is really good and I liked the fact of how Jordan Peele knew how to manage the elements of surprise which a movie of this genre needs and he knew how to use those elements correctly.
I loved that the screenplay was not predictable and the fact that Peele used his reversals correctly was also a positive note.
Some of the dialogue on the script was on the nose but honestly it didn´t bother me that much.
There are moments of comedy that Peele used and worked effectively and the thriller elements were very well made and I do admit that I jumped out of my seat many times.
The characters of the film are terrifying and I can see that Jordan Peele was influenced by movies from Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter, David Cronenberg and other directors since the previous mentioned ones manage very well those elements of surprise in their movies and I saw that here.
“Get Out” is a frightening thriller and at the same time a very entertaining one. I was very pleased and satisfied with this film and I hope that movies like this one continue to get made.
I also hope we can see another movie from Jordan Peele behind the camera and I hope the next movie he makes is even better.
“Get Out” is so far one of the revelationmovies of 2017 and I highly recommend it.
