Plague (2023)
Slow, tedious, pale and dull
The beginning was quite promising, up until most characters became extremely detached from the hopeless reality and loss around them, not showing any remote type of grief or strong expression while facing death of loved ones. Wrestling scenes are simply a joke of acting and directing, not to mention the pointlessly long scenes (which are used throughout the film) devout of any emotional and physical weight to them. I love the main cast and they're more than capable in other films, however, their talent and the story's potential are simply wasted here. Most of the characteristics of what's happening (people's fear, hunger and animalistic survival instincts) which are widely discussed in the film end up poorly executed and some of them not even shown or expressed within the slow and tedious 100 minutes where the watcher is left to imagine what fear, hunger and death is without even seeing it.
