Flashback

I like Dylan O'Brien and Maika Monroe, so this was a must watch for me. Fans of these 2 are going to upvote this, but honestly while well acted, this isn't all that good. It is interesting to a point, takes a long while to get going, but in the end throws way too much out there, without explaining most of it. Maybe they expected viewers to add their own interpretation ? O'Brien is outstanding in the lead, it's the writing and directing that bring this down. There was a time something like this night have been a 30 to 60 minute story on The Twilight Zone, pumped up to movie length it doesn't work. To make it even worse, there are many annoying film effects used, blurs, triple images and many flashing light scenes that are bothersome and add nothing. It's a shame production companies are letting very fine actors down with mundane stories and poor scripts. Worth it for the cast, but I'd never view this again.
