Teardrop (2022)
Not the worst film I've seen
Im a big fan of low budget b-rated films. That being said, I dont hold a high standard for them either. Thats why I'll give the film 3 stars. Its a watch one time film, break from the norm, but not worth watching a second time even 20 years later when you've totally forgotten what the film is about.
The story is mediocre at best but also has zero closure. You cant have too many open ends on a film like this, it leaves the viewer feeling unsatisfied. I.e. The Denver character isnt explained at all, and because of how it ends, seems a misplaced character to the story.
There are 2 good things to this film, first, it seems maybe the director is competent. Does well setting the scenes and taking some shoddy old west town and making a decent set out of it. Second, actually pretty good acting from the cast which is why Im okay with not fully skipping over this film. They all do a good job at playing their characters.
Uncharted (2022)
Terribly Written/Directed
They should retitle this film How Not to Direct or Movie of a 1000 plot holes. Still some entertainment value cause its marky mark but every aspect of the plot and how things unfold is either unrealistic or pointless. Literally 30 minutes of the film is them trying to get into a tomb in barcelona and in a cut scene, marks character is suddenly in the tomb when he was previously outside it with no explanation, mind you a tomb that needed multiple people to enter it. Also, really? A hole in the middle of the phillipines they can chopper lift ships out of but noone found it until someone lined up clues and looked at a map? Who wrote this? A third grader?
