Bad Country (2014)
Could have been so much better
I have never written a movie review, but since there are none at this time, I'll give it a shot. Just managed to finish this movie. It was not easy.
It tells the story of a criminal turned informer and who helps the authorities build a case against an organized crime group. There are hints of political corruption that are not developed properly, if at all. The main character is hardly developed and there is little for the audience to sympathize with. The movie abruptly turns from a crime/police story to a vengeance story.
The movie starts up rather well and draws you in, until, apparently, work on the movie practically stopped. About half way through there is an obvious degradation that ruins the movie. Editing is bad, camera-work becomes more like a TV movie. Action sequences are choppy. In general, the story stops flowing like it should.
I'm sure the death of the director Chris Brinker had something to do with this. Sorry to see him go. He had promise.
