The Vector File

Hubby & I enjoyed the movie. Production values were ok. I liked the interaction of the family, and given they really ARE a family that makes sense, lol. I enjoyed the outdoor scenes (we loved NZ when we visited years ago) also and the ingenuity of the daughter. As stated in the review title, it was somewhat predictable - but as a writer myself I am usually able to 'figure out' plot structure and twists. Watched it on YouTube where it was called 'A Detective'. I found the real name by looking up the writer. It's too bad there is a minimum character count in order to leave a review - that means I have to fill with fluff in order to get my review posted.

The acting in his movie was shocking. I've seen many movies and television shows produced, directed, funded and acted by New Zelanders and hey have been great.

This movie however was un-watchable.

It is pity too as some of the location shots were beautiful.

I was not aware of who Casper or Catherine were until i came onto IMDb to look them up to see who this ( Casper ) shocking actor was.

Catherines acting in this film completely shined compared to Casper.

Big budgets are not required to have actors with ability to act without appearing as though they are acting.

This is not a bad movie. It has some interesting ideas, like the role of technology and organized crime in future terrorism. Being a New Zealand/German effort, it did not have the big budget of Hollyweed, but it has some pretty good acting and it moves along well. It has some inexcusable plot holes, but so do 80% of the Hollyweed efforts I see. The direction wavers between "personal relationships" and "good folks in peril" scenes, with the latter getting more attention. It could have been a lot better with about 20 more minutes to flesh out the plot and develop the characters and their relationships. It has the overall feel of a pretty good idea that ran out of money. Hollyw$$d, it ain't easy to compete with, but at least some competent folks are trying!

This is a good standard thriller. I saw it with a bunch of New Zealand theatre owners for a theatrical potential test screening and the reaction was mixed - some would show it, some not. It did very well on video and the women love Casper. I am connected to the movie, but I think an objective 6 to 7 out of 10 is fair as a video. Everyone likes the twist at the end!

I think that the movie had its faults but it had its good things to do. the acting was superb but the camera angles needed some work. I found the story line had great meaning, but more attention is needed to be given to the main characters, in some parts of the film it is unknown as to how they are feeling.

I give this movie a 6/10 because it managed to keep me busy.
