Glitchface Dan Initially it was promising, but slowly and surely it made my blood boil like lava.My teeth are well-ground stumps and I'm here writing this review at 3.15am when I should be in bed, only to save others from experiencing this utter,UTTER puddle of drivel.I held on until the end stupidly.I think me and my friend suffered more than all the murder victims in this by watching the entire thing.The main character is at the core of all my rage, he was so unbelievably dumb that he'd be beaten by a cow that has suffered a shotgun blast to the head in a game of noughts and crosses, yet the writer wants us to believe that somehow (thanks to his fairy God-Mother) he made detective.The only way this pre-pubescent cop would make detective is if he won his badge in a Police raffle, but even then I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't read the numbers on his ticket.If this person was real, he would need carers 24/7 to help him walk in a straight line, let alone tie his shoe-laces.Visually it wasn't bad and apart from the infuriating lead character the rest were very good.I don't blame the main actor, bad writing and casting is to blame here, it was a total waste of a good team because of something so basic.If this was a late 80s film it would be funny, but in 2014 it's just embarrassing.I actually feel much better now this is off my chest.It's like this film created a small black slug of negativity inside me and I desperately needed to spit it out before it grew into a large snake, consuming me as I sleep.Ahhhh, night night.
theovermuch Poker Night is a movie which claims to be somewhat like Seven and The usual suspects. He gets away with this claim! But not because of excellence!Poker Night blends the story and the storytelling of TUS and Seven. It uses the narrative part of TUS, in this case the poker night or flashbacks, and the somewhat sinister ambiance of Seven. It's trying to be one of those mind-twisting thrillers you either hate or love. Combining this with a detective story about abduction and you've got potential. Right? Yes, but the director or the writer had a bit of difficulties to get the story ongoing and made some weird decisions.The character tells about hindsight, how he would have done different. Sadly he makes several mistakes twice.. This the problem of this movie. The character should be smart but makes stupid mistakes for the sake of the movie. It is like the director made an excuse for himself.While it gives a worthy swing for movies like Seven and TUS it doesn't deliver the awe and "perfectness" because of the flaws in the story.The movie is worth to watch. Great story twists, good acting, great camera work. Rating is because of lacking competition in this genre.
Naiada num Its a film worth seeing if you like crime movies with a taste of psycho killer inside. It gives you a new point of view on the police , it has a big taste of humour so you can catch up and just breathe for a moment and then you get knocked out and thrilled. There s some crazy plot that keeps surprising you, some really creative ideas. I m really shocked from that low rating its at least 8+ . actors where great scenario was good and director totally gives you what you need. As a viewer if there was to be continued i d definitely go to see it. My taste of movie is that i got freaked and thrilled as much as i had fun and enjoyed it and never got bored till the last minute. Suggested, watch it and have fun.
petarmatic Nothing special in this film. I watched it to watch a thriller, but I was disappointed! It was very interesting in the beginning but later it lost sense. I had a problem following the plot so I had to watch this film two times to see did I missed something. I did not. It is just simply bad plot. Nothing special about it. Lots of blood and screaming people, trying to look cool.Acting was not bad, actually it was quite good. Editing and cinematography were not that bad either. I just did not like the film that much. So I recommend that you do not watch this film. Save yourself from a worthless thriller. What a bummer!
