As far as unreliability goes, he’s Keyser Söze from The Usual Suspects. Goodman’s character is a kook – or, at least a former kook. It requires absolutely no knowledge of the first film.
More good news: 10 Cloverfield Lane works perfectly as a stand-alone sequel. But soon, things - as they often tend to do – take a turn for the worse. Together with Emmett, another man ‘rescued’ by Goodman’s Howard, the three form a family of sorts as they confront their options. What we have with 10 Cloverfield Lane, a film that is at best a tangential spinoff of the first movie, is a three-act stage drama masquerading as a psychological thriller, which, by the time act three rolls around, evolves into a whole different kind of beast. You can still hear the screams, “Oh my God! Oh my God!” But just a few months before that, JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves quietly shook things up in their own mysterious way when they unleashed Cloverfield upon the world. In July, Chris Nolan changed the game by answering the question ‘what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?’ in The Dark Knight. Cast - Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, John Gallagher JrĢ008 was a fantastic year for genre movies.
