10s Movie Review - Before We Go

Director: Chris Evans
Genre: Drama/ Comedy/ Romance
Runtime: 95 minutes
Year: 2014
Starring: Chris Evans, Alice Eve

Description: Two strangers (Chris Evans, Alice Eve) stuck in Manhattan for the night grow into each other’s most trusted confidants when an evening of unexpected adventure forces them to confront their fears and take control of their lives.
 
Review: Usually I’m a little skeptical of filmmakers who give themselves the leas role, but fair’s fair: Chris Evans did an excellent job at both. “Before We Go” follows two strangers that meet one night in New York and decide to help each other.
The film is reminiscent of “Before Sunrise”. After meeting something is brewing between these two. It’s a really good film and it has some great moments. But it’s nothing like the forementioned movie.
The main thing that made this film good was the chemistry between Chris Evans and Alice Eve. The tension between the two is very noticeable and I loved them together. It is titled as a romance movie, but it’s not one of those cheesy, predictable ones. This film has layers and depth and two characters you get to know in a very short time.
I highly enjoyed “Before We Go” and I really want to know what Nick wrote to Brooke. We will never know.

Rating: 3,5/ 5
