A Single Shot (2013)
*Spoilers* Single Finger
If you've seen the movie then you should already know the jest of my complains about the film, I'm not gonna explain the "whole" plot I'm just gonna do a quick spoiler summary to makes this quick and easy.
TB/DW (Too boring / didn't watch)
*Man fires "several" shots with some kind of pump action shotgun while hunting*
(wait.. multiple shots I thought this film only contained one?)
*kills woman near a sewage like lake having a picnic for no apparent reason*
*finds bob the builders tool box full of doe*
*steals it*
*some drama to keep you waiting till the plot actually moves*
*Man's dog gets brutally shot* (the sole reason this movie is R rated)
*Man realizes somebody knows* (other than the fact that he gets a call "I know what you did last summer")
*1 hour of Magnum P.I work and drama*
*plot twists that you pretty much saw coming*
*Climax starts kicking into gear*
At this point I actually didn't mind the movie, It was intriguing and I actually didn't check how much time was left; not once, my hunger for entertainment was slowly being filled in a single movie until the last 25 Min's which is what everyone has waited for, for the past hour and a half.
*Man shoots impossible shot...*
(Yes, I know its Hollywood blah blah blah)
oh yeah did I mention he put the woman's body in his freezer.. *cough* Bernie *cough*
*cops are coming lets finally decide to bury the body....*
*digs a hole big enough for two*
*gets stuck in hole and dies*
*no.. I think I forgot something.. its on the tip of my fingers
*fingers.....
*oh yeah his finger got cut off which he lost enough blood to soak a piece of cloth which in turned made him too tired to climb out of a hole.
and that was the movie Single finger.
I honestly felt like the movie itself gave me the bird and said thanks for watching now %^&* off..
and I was OK with it, the ending obviously has a deeper meaning which all of the other reviewers will explain and the acting was good. I couldn't complain about the actors themselves since I was so focused on the plot which is what every movies sole purpose is.
A clear example would be Jeffrey Wrights character 'simon' which I couldn't understand unless god gave his own ears to me. hell I don't think Jeffrey knew what the hell he was saying but that's not the point the point is, his character was acted out accurately which was a pathetic drunk.
I'm sure who ever read the book had a more meaningful understanding of the ending but how the movie portrays it at the end doesn't cut it
5 stars because I liked an hour and a half of it.
