What can I say about the new Joker flick? It was the best origins film I've seen in my life. It had a lot of Taxi Driver-like vibes to it. Joaquin Phoenix did a brilliant job playing Arthur Fleck aka The Joker. His best performance since Walk the Line. In this film, Phoenix plays a failed comedian who turns to a life of crime in 1980s Gotham City. Robert De Niro was amazing as a Johnny Carson-like talk show host. Lots of Oscar-worthy potential to it. Director Todd Phillips did a great job directing this antihero drama. His best work since The Hangover. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and a happy snap. Highly recommended. If you're looking for a great movie to end your weekend off, make it Joker. I've really enjoyed it and so will you.
