Absolutely brilliant
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Joel Kinnaman is a decent enough actor, so I don't blame him for this shambles. I do blame the writer and director, and as they are one and the same then that man is wholly responsible for one of the very worst films I have ever seen.It's immature, idiotic, senseless, meaningless drivel. Clearly written by somebody not of this world. The characters are so lightweight and ill-formed that they cannot be human, nor can they be the product of a human.One and a half hours of my life has been stolen from me, time I can never get back. I'm just left wondering who finances these pathetic projects and why? Maybe it looked good on paper - it looked promising to me when I read the blurb - but even good ideas need careful crafting and there is no craft on display here.Infuriating and pointless.
This is one of the best detective/murder mystery series I've ever seen I binged almost all four seasons at once. I think I've fallen in love with Joel Kinnamen. All the acting is terrific. The characters are very well developed and the story lines are tense and binge worthy. The gloomy background of Seattle is a perfect setting for this drama.
It started off promising. The lead role is mostly played well and everything seemed set for a good movie. The feel and the production value was good. However, as the film progressed, it began to fall flat. Despite a good effort from the lead character, the character is not well written. I am not complaining about initial ambiguity, but at the overall way the lead character as well as all the other characters are scripted poorly. None of the characters have any depth and the whole story became 2 dimensional and irritating well into the film. But since my wife and I had invested good part of an hour by then, we continued watching anyway. This turned out to be an error on our part. The problem is two fold. The viewer is not allowed to connect with either children even though there is every reason to. The viewer is also left hanging at the end of the movie with a very unsatisfactory outcome. I would not recommend it for that reason.
Good grief; who wrote this stupid, inane script or story for that matter. All the way through a tough watch except for the scenes of northern woods. The oldest most stupid clichés of "lost cabin in the woods" abound. Nobody travels in deep snow in a Creep Cherokee (Jeeps are junk),or any vehicle without a shovel to dig out. The father's "lunacy" of possibly losing his kids is totally unbelievable junk written by a trained ape! (sorry apes) The most terrible trash I've ever sat through. The poor kid actors; they tried and even looked guilty as they gushed out their stupid lines. The biggest laugh of all is Amazon wants $10 to watch this drivel!
