A Masterpiece!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This movie had quite a lot of familiar names for me and with all those names should have been better. It gets let down by the script and the casting of the lead Abigail Breslin. The rest of the actors do on the whole a pretty good job and overlooking Abigail Breslin's obvious miscasting this was an entertaining movie to watch. Just don't expect too much going in.Wes Bentley, Cameron Bright, Alexander Ludwig and Francesca Eastwood are all actors I have seen before and their performances while good are let down by the unpolished script dialogue.The movie is quite short at 78 minutes before the credits and the story is quite good, but for one glaring plot hole.I gave this a 5.5 rounded up to a 6/10, which is better than the current average on here, it could have easily been an 8 with some work on the script and a more appropriate lead actress.

I watched Final Girl out of two things: curiosity and boredom and then i was pleasantly surprise Yes, the plot is trash and the premise is absurd, but it was so well made and almost perfectly accomplished that you just forget about it If you are aware of the kind of movie you are watching and just surrender yourself to what's happening without thinking about the "hows and whys" you are certainly gonna enjoy this one

RELEASED IN 2015 and directed by Tyler Shields, "Final Girl" concerns a little orphaned girl in Washington (state) who is trained by a mysterious cold man, William (Wes Bentley), in assassination techniques and the use of drugs. Veronica's first real mission is to target four pompous young guys, who are sociopathic murderers. Abigail Breslin plays the protagonist.This is a cool meshing of films like "Hanna" (2011), "The Hunger Games" (2012) and "Point of No Return" (1993). The British Columbia cinematography is gorgeous and the tone is surreal, but there's not enough character exposition, which is the movie's main flaw. Other than that, this is top-notch filmmaking. Viewers complain that Breslin was wrong for the role because she wasn't "cut enough" and the emphasis was on how cute/attractive she appeared than on being a convincing slayer. But Veronica (Abigail) was cultivated by William (Bentley) to be an assassin, not appear on TV as a martial arts celebrity. Assassins are SUPPOSED to be inconspicuous, not openly pegged as merciless killers. That's why William had her dressed in pretty dresses, etc. She wasn't supposed to look like a kick axx assassin. It's the same reason Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen) was picked by high command for his mission in "Apocalypse Now" (1979). To help understand the movie, reflect on the spotlights in the forest. They weren't just there to give an artsy feel; "Final Girl" is darker and cleverer than that. Veronica's parents died and she was instantly recruited by a trainer who taught her classic MK Ultra programming (an infamous CIA mind control program). She learns about drugs and techniques in how to seduce and slay. The sociopathic dudes enjoy hunting women in the woods for sport. While the overall way it's portrayed is not realistic, it recalls royal families in England and elite families in America back in the day who would hunt individuals for sport and ritual. Consider Jimmy Savile who allegedly supplied kids from shelters for noble and exclusive families in Europe. This is where the concept of The Hunger Games hails. It's reality. Elitist snobs would hunt youths for fun and have them fight to the death for sport. Another obvious flaw is: How could the young lads get away with murdering myriad innocent girls for so long, particularly when you consider how overt they are about luring the prey into their web. Moreover, one of these ignoramuses would've surely spilled the beans at some point, but they're all so cavalier about their dirty deeds. If the handler (Bentley) knows about their diabolical frolics in the woods, wouldn't the police? THE FILM RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. WRITERS: Adam Prince wrote the script based on a story by Johnny Silver, Stephen Scarlata & Alejandro Seri. GRADE: B-

Not so much plot holes as one big plot chasm. Why go through all this complication to take out four hoodlums? William could have done it himself in a heartbeat. And what were the police doing in this town where more than a dozen young women have already disappeared? It's hard to believe no one could figure out who was at the bottom of it. As for the girls themselves: by the time several have already disappeared, is the next potential victim really going to agree to get in a car with four guys at night and drive off to wherever they decide to take her? And when she does, nobody remembers that they are the last people she was seen with? You can enjoy this movie, maybe, if you want something to fill up time with your brain in neutral, but otherwise there are just too many holes.
