Review of The Body

The Body (II) (2019)
7/10
Revenge is best served cold, and without leaving any proofs
16 July 2020
What worked:
  • the screenplay is pleasantly good, adding thrills and extra spices into the narrative. The movie's plot is interesting, making the viewers show flexibility on their interpretations of the story. One of the reasons the screenplay worked maybe is because it is a remake of a great international thriller.
What did not work:
  • run time; there is no denying that the screen time could have been shorten by cutting down all the songs. They brought no charm or added any flavor to the story, instead made it hard to watch and making the viewers feel detached from the thrills that the could have garnered. Also, we can accept the distractions used for the movie but the movie failed to make a very strong conclusion that the original promised. It's not a bad movie overall but the execution could have been done better.
Final verdict: recommended for a one time watch
