What critics compared 52 Pick-Up to
El vigor de su estilo, prodigiosamente refinado en Good Time , parece venir de los clásicos de Cannon Films –como 52 Pick-Up (1986)– e incluso el estupendo score de Daniel Lopatin parece evocar ese espíritu constantemente, tan sucio e inmoral como atrayente y adictivo.
John Frankenheimer is known as a master of intelligent thrillers (“ The Manchurian Candidate ” (1962), “ 52 Pick-Up ”), and his films almost always have a great look: There is a quality in the visuals that's hard to put your finger on, but that brings a presence to the locations, making them feel like more than backdrops.
