User Reviews

"The Weakness of Man"

Good watch, could watch again, but can't really recommend.

This movie is a slow burn all the way through, just how it is, not good or bad, but some people don't like that.

This is also a "mystery, not mystery" type of movie, where there is clearly something up from the very beginning that the audience is waiting on the movie to explain, but it happens slowly over the course of the movie, drip-feeding information ("Stoker" is a great movie that does that really well), but their isn't a detective character specifically trying to uncover the hidden details.

The movie does some really good misdirection to lead on about certain aspects of the mystery, but most of the movie is Sophie Turner chatting up the guys in one capacity or another.

While I think it's a good movie, I can see a lot of people not being interested in this one.
