While having a round table conversation onThe Hollywood Reporter,Robert Pattinsontalked about what it was like working onGood Time.The movie got a lot of praise and had the hand ofOppenheimerstar Benny Safdie. The movie saw a bank robber who stops at nothing to save his brother, even if it means getting involved with the criminal underworld.
“The first draft of the script, there were certain scenes in it where I was reading that and I was like, ‘Jesus I don’t even know if this is legal.’ Is it a loophole if you do something in a movie? Does that make it legal?”

He was scared of the script initially but that quickly faded because he saw just how different the film really was from his usual roles.
