So much better than I thought it was going to be. I have to agree with @PopcornBucket, incredibly underrated.

This was incredible, such an underrated film. Cinematography was perfect, music sublime and the story was a refreshing twist.

There's a good movie in there, though 'Charlie Countryman' is weakened by a few of its elements. Visually I enjoyed it, but the pace of the around 100 minute run time isn't the best. The story is hit-and-miss, there's certainly a plot in there somewhere that could be entertaining but it always feels held back by something... I think the love story kinda took me out of it a few times, especially as I didn't overly like (but didn't dislike) the performances of Shia LaBeouf and Evan Rachel Wood; LaBeouf is noteworthy emotionally at the beginning, though. Mads Mikkelsen is the standout in my opinion, a fun performance from him. James Buckley and Rupert Grint, meanwhile, serve as decent comedic relief. Aubrey Plaza has a very minor (too minor) a role, while newcomer at the time Vanessa Kirby appears momentarily. It's a shame they ended up cutting John Hurt's narration, which could've been cool.

This is what happens when you outline a movie on notecards, and then decide to use that as the script. Mads Mikkelsen and Evan Rachel Wood are too good for me and Charlie Countryman.

The movie starts off good enough, but then loses momentum in the middle hour before coming to a predictable and not that exciting end. Not too bad of a movie, but not that good either. 6/10
