Henry Johnson Review • New David Mamet Film
Sunday, 4 May, 2025

And here's my review of Henry Johnson, written and directed by legendary playwright, David Mamet. It stars Evan Jonigkeit, Shia LaBeouf, Chris Bauer, and Dominic Hoffman.Link to the movie: https://henryjohnsonmovie.com/Based on the play of the same name, the film follows the impressionable Henry Johnson -- a walking opportunity in a world of running opportunists. Hunter discusses how the whether or not Mamet's ear of dialogue is still intact, Shia LaBeouf's attention-grabbing performance, and the truly pathetic protagonist. 0:00 How to Watch It1:54 Mamet Dialogue + Theater2:35 First Impression4:46 Shia LaBeouf6:22 What the Movie's About7:13 Truly Pathetic Protagonist8:22 Lean Storytelling9:02 No More "Like and Subscribe"10:14 The Next Review10:29 Feature PantheonTo support the Feature Underground, click here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvxAK5S4R3vrfJQ7jySGDog/joinX: (https://twitter.com/Lanierhunt64)Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hunterlaniermoviereviews/)Tik Tok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@featureundergroun)Letterboxd: (https://letterboxd.com/HunterLanier/)#davidmamet #shialabeouf #moviereview
