Triangle looked very good in the trailer. Most films do. Triangle will either be excellent or a disaster were my thoughts. As much as I wanted to like this film whilst watching it, I just cannot.
Triangle actually over complicates itself, but in a way where it becomes far to predictable and easy to see what is ahead. If Triangle came full circle rather than ending a good ten/fifteen minutes later, we would have a decent enough and relatively ambitious and creepy film but it drags for too long, which is never good when a film is this short and there are so many narrative shortcomings that it fails on both fronts. Never good to fail story-wise and drag it out, because even a numb-skull can identify when a plot literally becomes too thin.
Melissa George also starred in the dreadful Paradise Lost but a positive is that she is a bit better here (although not by huge amounts). Every cloud has a silver lining but Triangle is a huge cloud.
Smith has matured technically so it would seem, as the editing is seamless (yet ultimately pointless) and the camera-work is generally polished. Although in terms of direction, which Smith is here, it really fails and despite it meaning to be a disorientating and horrific thriller there seems to be no real fluency or cohesion within the piece and Smith never fully connects audience and film. Memento did a great job with disorientating the audience yet still winding them back in, Triangle throws us overboard and we can never recover, much like the films narrative.
The film really doesn't work and I do think Lottery Money was wasted, especially when we can see what Dorian Grey did with their Lottery Funding. Avoid this if you can, a DVD rental might be ideal for a few chills and spills, because there is potential here but there are so many shortfalls and detriments that it really deserves to be put out of its misery.
