The Shift

Typical of a small budget film, with a very inventive plot, very modern in the topic, see for yourselves...And it is not too long either, but it is obvious that this film will not be released very widely around the world. It belongs to the ambulance scheme - topics - genre. Unfortunately a maybe too predictable ending, unlike the basic plot. Excellent acting too.

It's unfortunate this movie has so little visibility. I found it as a suggestion on HBO Max. I realized it will be good after watching only the first 3 minutes. The pace is a little slow, but the movie is not necessarily trying to focus on action only, but also on displaying the characters' psychology in tense situations. The actors were phenomenal in their roles, not going overboard and displaying genuine emotions on screen. The movie ending may have been predictable to some, not to me. If you liked movies like July 22, Patriots Day or Stronger, there's a high chance you will enjoy this movie as well.

I guess this film was secretly sponsored by electronic cigarettes companies as police officer - senior detective is smoking in-doors and all his colleagues are happy with that. I guess smoking indoor in banned everywhere.

The plot is slow, they have had many options to act differently to achieve what they wanted to achieve. Instead of that it is 80 minutes long.

Migration is normal. We have economic migration, political migration and religion migration too. Some people are not satisfied with a culture of country where they live.

They feel detached from the rest, they consider themselves as different, but they know there is a better place to live. But instead of moving to that better location (in a different country) which suits their culture better, they shout really loudly how bad they feel there.

My nationality is the same as country where I live (I'm native), so I can't understand what these kind of people feel. They have to assimilate, if they live where they live.

We have minorities which does not hurts anyone like LGBTIQ, sick people, elder people. Why "they" cannot live normally?
