GOOD TIME (M18)
100 minutes/Opens Friday
4 stars
The ticking clock thriller gets an indie makeover and the result is a pulse-quickening ride that, in entertainment value, beats anything that mainstream cinema has made in a while.
Co-director Benny Safdie (above left) is uncannily good as Nick, the intellectually disabled younger brother doted on by older brother Connie (Robert Pattinson, above right), a man whose love for his sibling does not preclude making him an accomplice to a bank robbery.
WHERE: Screening Room, The Arts House, 1 Old Parliament Lane MRT: City Hall WHEN: Today to Jan 1, various times ADMISSION: $13.50. Schedule and tickets at good-time.peatix.com at the door.
