Okay, I will make my post now.
Destroyer is not perfect. But it is a much needed film in the genre of detective action/thrillers that I have never really been a big fan of before. It takes on such a unique perspective in coming into this rough, violent, and dangerous world when the lead is a female. I am so happy that Karyn made this film, because until now I never realized how great it would be to see a woman in a role like this. I've never seen a female role like it before.
I had read the script before, so going in, I had my hopes up, and I was excited because the script was fantastic. The role of Erin Bell is a gritty, abrasive, tough as nails, and damaged one. For me to see Nicole perform this role was so beyond thrilling. It is not even in the same atmosphere as anything she has done before. The way she walks, talks, the look in her eyes, everything is such a huge transformation. She completely blew me away. I saw some people complain about the makeup, and say it was distracting, but honestly, it looked great to me. I saw it, and then I forgot about it. Nicole was Erin Bell. And it was amazing to see her play this same damaged woman in two time periods of her life. The hope in here eyes at the beginning, to the final moments when everything has piled up for her. I don't want to be too specific, but it was like two different characters, but you can completely see how one becomes the other.
I do think the editing at the very end may be a little heavy handed, but throughout the rest, it was fantastic. They kept up the intensity of the thrilling mystery. And the balance of a great detective story with a really human and deep character study was so fantastically balanced. The score was also sooooo good, and played almost like a horror film score in some moments. Karyn did an excellent job with this film, and I am so glad Nicole was brave enough to do it. Her bravery never fails to astound me.
I do hope you guys like it. Even if some people don't, I think there's no denying that Nicole is putting it all on the line, and going for it 100% here. She is so impressive and honestly I am so proud to be her fan.
Also I am on four hours of sleep so sorry if this isn't completely coherent lol. Now on to the Boy Erased premiere tonight!
