Carter (2022)
5/10
Crazy directing and camera work... good and bad

Warning: Spoilers
Good entertainment, but two hours is too long for what this movie brings to the table... acting is mediocre, story does make the viewer question who's good and who's bad... and it's quite bloody and pretty mad.

But the real trouble with this movie is the directing, camera work and the fights... all of them all around the board, going from amazing fights with amazing tricky camera work and directing over into scenes where you'd might think the people behind the camera are absolutely pissed drunk. A stand out excellent action scene with amazing camera work, directing etc is a scene where three vans drive side by side and the fight goes from one van into the other and back... very tricky to do, never before seen work. But on the other hand it has scenes like the fight in the chemical factory that doesn't make sense at all, it's hard to impossible to follow the action and crazy bad camera work. Not even talking about the overuse of the shaky camera, even in scenes where it doesn't make sense at all.

Movie could've been much better if the director just toned it down a bit with all the camera trickery he's trying to do and 30/45 minutes of it was left on the cutting floor.
