Review Time: this film is mixed
Fundamental elements: there are numbers
and words on screen, voice-over elements, cultural elements, slow-motion
effects, quick moving effects, background music, no
subtitles when another language is being used, interpreter
elements [learning via a tape or CD,] time jumps and place jumps.
Movement;
well not much happens in the first 23 minutes, but other than that it does
consistently move throughout the rest of the film time roughly of 141 minutes.
Storyline/Back stories: this will not be
the only time I will say something to this effect; but the storyline like other
components of this film are the standard for these kinds of films, where
everything goes wrong on this particular night [enter number of
characters/performers here.] Even though this film says "The End" there is a scene/song
being sung alongside the second wave of ending credits. We the viewers get to
see and experience a back story in the opening section of this film, storyteller
and they get discussed in the dialogue exchanges.
Comedy level: it ranges between mature to
adult to dark; this is another component which is the standard for these kinds
of films, there are two examples which I can use in this review. This
electrical garage door keeps going up and down whilst we have two
characters/performers in a taxi with a driver character/performer coming in to
this location, but we have the rest of our group of characters/performers
trying to deal with something [I have censored this element by saying
something] without any more people knowing about it inside this garage, the
only character/performer that is not 100% certain what is happening here is the
taxi driver.
The other is
where one of our characters/performers comes in from the sea on this Jet Ski
way too fast and then goes over the handlebars to have this crash landing on
this beach.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used and combat. Moving on to the artistic
visions; there is this suitcase with little flags on it which is eye-catching
and likewise this scene of the moon at night which is clear to see and as I
have already said there is this song being sung by this character/performer as
she is playing the keyboard, this is good.
Character developments/Performances: the character developments are the standard, meaning you get the
standard chemistry/friction as times have changed [in their lives,] the
awkwardness and everything else that comes with that. So inevitably the
performances reflect that as well so in fairness and balance the performers in
question make it feel as natural as possible with these character developments
which they have to work with, so I will say good work nonetheless.
This film receives: 4/10, now after
everything is said and done this mark is a fair conclusion.
