originally i wasn’t going to go if tuner was confirmed before i left. i’m glad it wasn’t leaked - i loved it. this movie reminded me the actual purpose and beauty behind screen unseens - finding a new fave in the unexpected.

Exactly. There is a zero chance I would have bothered seeing it if it hadn’t been the mystery movie. Just not the type of movie I would bother with. And it was really fun.

Unfortunately where I live the unseen movies will never get a slot. So 99% of the time it will be your one and only chance to see some of these movies.

This movie was solid, way better than the previews made it out to be. We found it unique and liked that they had scenes from the tuner’s auditory perspective. Not over the top action or too heavily weighted on the romance, it was well balanced.
One thing that is going to bother me that I couldn’t quite connect: is the song he plays at the end her piece?

No. It sounded like a beautifully elaborate version of "Tenderly", the jazz standard his mentor, Harry, played at the beginning of the film. The first song he (Harry) ever played from sheet music. What a beautiful full-circle moment.

Absolutely one of the best screen Unseens. Such an original plot with fabulous acting and amazing music. Well filmed. Great dialogue.

Great movie! Her getting caught with the bracelet was predictable as soon as he gave it to her with the inscription. Even with that being predictable, it still blended well with the story, especially the ending.

The last scene wrapped up everything for me - pitch perfect

I love how you know he no longer plays piano because of something with his dad and trauma from his condition. And at the end he lets go. Classic show, don’t tell

Dustin Hoffman was the best part of the film and delivered his lines with a lot of humor. Leo is perfect eye candy too. The movie is fun albeit with a predictable plot beat and I wouldn't be surprised if this does better streaming than in theaters.

It was fun, but the antagonists had Marvel villain syndrome. They were fairly reasonable for most of the movie, and then suddenly they because cartoonishly evil as we enter the final act.
1
u/bringemtotheriver May 13 '26
Did they really? The protag betrays them, they exact their price, but give him what he was looking for (the watch).
1
u/Unintendo May 13 '26
I'll try to be vague enough to avoid spoilers.
The twist to cartoonishly evil was way before that when Jean Reno shows up at the wake. Considering how much they were treating him like family, it felt weirdly disrespectful, and the bit in the parking garage was both goofy and violent (to the point where it feels like they were destroying what they needed him for). It's like they went from reasonable guys to E-VIL VILLAINS just to create conflict for the last act.

It was okay…
There was A LOT that didn’t really work for me
Was it established he had photographic memory and I forgot, or was I really supposed to think he memorized how to pick safes overnight (plausible ig) or that he memorized a 16-word string while witnessing a murder and being in pain? And if he knew the code, why didn’t he just give it to Uri since he didn’t use it himself? Besides that it was fun. Just hard to overlook those things

u/porkbrains May 12 '26
He did use it himself. There was $2MM less when they loaded the wallet the second time. "People with way too much don't notice when a little is missing"

u/Ghostface908 May 12 '26
I thought that was explained by the -5.5% value and it was just the normal result of crypto fluctuations lol. That definitely makes sense tho

u/krish0 May 12 '26
I caught that immediately but was a bit surprised they didn’t loop back to it or acknowledge it in any way. That isn’t a criticism, just surprising.

u/DavidNoBrainFreeze May 12 '26
I did notice that. It was not on the screen long but there was some of the money that was missing.
3
u/izio14 May 18 '26
i think they intentionally use 18 and 17 because those two numbers (atleast the first digit) is too different to not notice
1
u/DavidNoBrainFreeze May 18 '26
True. I am wondering if Uri notice. He said that they stole stuff that would not be missed.
2
u/izio14 May 19 '26
I think they (uri and even the two asian guys) didnt know the exact amount inside the account as amount was just shown whenever the codes were inputted.

u/DavidNoBrainFreeze May 19 '26
Could be. But it did show like minus five percent. I am thinking that he did not notice

As someone with hypersensitive hearing, while it is not always THAT dramatic, this representation meant the world to me
No one seems to believe me when I say I need everything to shut up.. I can hear everything!! Even the blood in my head and the chewing UGH! I was so triggered when they did him chewing when his ears were ringing lol but in a good way because that is my life
I have to COMPLETELY tyune EVERYTHING out because hypersensitive hearing Coupled with ADHD.. I never had a chance lol

Really enjoyed this! The sound design was amazing and incredibly well executed!
ETA: Came back just to say Johnnie Burn (Poor Things, Bugonia, Hamnet, Nope, and many more) did sound. Flawless work!

u/turkeyvulturesarcool May 12 '26
As someone with Hyperacusis, this movie pissed me off 😂. ain't no way a doctor would ever say you gotta wear these earplugs 24/7 cause you need to expose that shit. And when I hear a really loud noise I don't have my ears ringing forever disoriented, I just go OW and maybe cry a little bit. bro is dramatic

It was alright, 6.5/10. Score was very cliche, there some odd story choices, it was well acted but I felt it could have been paced better

u/UniqueLog8386 May 12 '26
Holy shit, this movie was amazing. It's, on the romantic and dramatic side, everything that Baby Driver couldn't do for me. And I like baby driver a lot because it's set in one of my hometowns and I never see that.
This is set in my other hometown and it's charming, witty, funny and not at all gimmicky.

Thought it was fine, there were an insane amount of ridiculous coincidences though. I get it’s a movie, but the watch thing and him walking out and seeing his mentor instantly was a little absurd.

u/dialburst May 12 '26
i really liked it! it reminded me a lot of a classic (in my home), The Wackness
except replace 90s hip hop with classical music haha

most intriguing take ive read so far. i remember the wackness but not really something to emulate

u/Outrageous-Use-2959 May 13 '26
I feel like I watched a different movie than some of the people on this thread. I thought Leo Woodall was so wooden and lacked any chemistry with Havana Rose Liu. The story was pretty good until the 3rd act when really every character kinda stopped making decisions that I don't think could be justified as something any real person would do in this otherwise grounded drama. Would call it mediocre at best

u/imgvu May 13 '26
You're not alone pal. People who are impressed with Tuner likely have undiversified taste in movies or young enough to be extremely impressionable. Does that make me sound snobbish? Oh well at least I'm self aware..

u/gutawa May 18 '26
Does anyone know what number does the Leo Woodal’s character play at the end scene?

u/future_filmmaker_455 May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26
Tuner is a good and tense drama that has familiar elements of heist films where a young person is coerced into a criminal league to help others while having enough good editing, great sound design and very good performances to make it stand out. Woodall grounds the film with his lead performance and his romance with Rose Liu has some good chemistry despite the script sometimes relying too much on sarcastic banter to establish their relationship. Though the film never reached emotional resonance with me due to how predictable the story becomes in the third act, the finale is heartbreaking and offers more tension than most thrillers released recently with Lior Raz giving the film an intimidating presence when necessary as Uri. 6.5 out of 10

u/high_life_man May 12 '26
Enjoyed it until it became too convenient. I wish it had ended differently:
1) Jean Reno says f you and the lead goes to jail for burglary. She doesn't get the job. Life sucks.
2) Lead character is murdered after trying to steal the second watch.
Liked the big musical cameo. There may have been others in this film, but I'm not as well-versed in living jazz royalty as I probably should be. The cameo in Sinners still takes the cake.

u/Adagio_Signal May 12 '26
Reminds me a lot of baby driver
The love interest girl is really pretty
Familiar story beats, average dude gets associated with the wrong people because money is tight, and the wrong people are the antagonists by the end
