MOVIE REVIEWS

Review by Kamurai

Really good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This had the immediate potential to be great and they immediately down played it as something that happened instead of the proper plot of the story. This is all jumbled up "Pulp Fiction" style, but without big celebrities to make the parts seem more important. The (traditional) 1st act of the story is cut up and dispersed throughout the movie as if to slowly justify how she was put in this position in the first place which causes a very drawn out 2nd act of dealing with the situation, and what feels like a very rushed 3rd act of resolution. Thinking back on it, I don't even remember how it ended.....hold on...*rewatch ending*, oh yeah, I just didn't remember that as the end of the movie, probably because they cut back to a different scene afterward. I understand that they wanted to do something different, but they took a great concept and a really good execution and reduced to Really Good at best, and I'm sure there are people that don't care about the psychology of the characters or enough about writing to appreciate what the movie actually shows, but I think if you have an open mind, there is plenty to like about this one.
