Elephant (2003)
Bad Acting, Boring, Pointless
The script read like the beginner actors made it up as they went in a deadpan fashion. Lines like: "Looks like we are going to die today... Did you ever kill anyone?" Seriously??? Left too many cue tape lines on the walls and floors in multiple scenes assuming the actors were as dumb as a box of rocks. The director tried to pull it off as a dark art project and failed miserably. Too much dead time, scenes that did not carry the story forward. I fought to stay awake through the beginning. I cannot recommend this film.
De uskyldige (2021)
Senseless violence, I wish I could give it a 0 rating.
Killing and torture for no reason that did not carry the story forward. Obviously the writer/director is this disturbed in real life to want to show this piece of garbage. Only entertainment for the depraved and hopefully will not encourage children to act out after viewing this senseless lack of art.
The Ravine (2021)
Another bible thumper film with a poor plot
I had not read any reviews before starting the film. When a man was asked to drive over and check on Kevin, the change of 3 seasons occurred in a span of 5+ minutes, I knew something was wrong. The man had been called for the wellness check by a friend who was in a snowy background, the man said he would stop by and call him back in 5 minutes, he pulls up to a house in a summer setting with leaves on the trees, flowers on the porch and no snow on the ground. A few minutes later he calls the guy back driving down the the road with an drone shot from above with late autumn trees with no leaves in the background. So this indicated the use of a bad editing and bad directing to let this pass to print, So I paused the video and decided to read some reviews to see if this film was worth the rest of my time. Then gave it 5 more minutes then a few non-related burglaries occurred that didn't carry the story forward and the bible thumping started with the victim praying to the perpetrators. That was enough for me and stopped the film. I wish the born-again Christians would stop pushing their agenda in films that most people do not enjoy with the horrible plots. This move just dragged on. Sorry, but it was a waste of producer's money.
The Gardener (2021)
Not worthy of production
I think the worst part was the terrible fight choreography. A Chinese artist,(Daniels) was terrible and his reference to the Japanese Samurai really had nothing to do with anything. The casting was off - A 25 year old playing the mid-teen son was not believable in this role. Should cast a teen to play a teen. The greasy haired father was so over the top horrible to his wife that it is hard to believe they ever had children. The maid would have been fired long ago with her unnecessary hateful attitude toward everyone. The "crew" robbing the house is so unbelievably stupid and violent they could not rob a McDonalds. Script - pretty poor. Just not worth the watch. I stopped half way.
