8/10
Yup.

Warning: Spoilers
Nope is a movie directed by Jordan Peele so I would say automatically, I am going to be anticipated for this film. Say what you want about Peele, but what he does it's original. This film focuses on a brother/sister team of horse trainers for Hollywood productions (Keke Palmer & Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya) who inherited the business after their father (Keith David) is killed when debris falls from the sky. Emerald (Palmer) wants no part of the business, while OJ (Kaluuya), due to his dwindling financial straits, is slowly selling off his stock to a neighboring showperson, played by Steven Yeun. All of this takes a backseat to the flying saucer haunting the area, which at first starts to kill off horses, but soon humans seem to be on the menu as well. Plus, the commentary in this movie is remarkable; many people don't understand what Peele wants to say with his movies, and people just don't read the lines in this film his commentary is about; the idea is a spectacle; we go to extreme lengths to receive and show entertainment. Just like the director and the TMZ motorcyclist where they want to record the situation. The twist where the flying saucer was the monster was just brilliant. Plus, with the scenes, Gordy the monkey was terrifying and is another symbol of how we love to abuse animals; that is why we see Gordy going on a rampage in the studio. Overall, Jordan Peele makes new fresh movies, and this film does that for me; better than Us, but not better than Get Out. 8/10.
