Review Time: this film is mixed
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, words on screen, background music, cultural elements,
mental imagery, no subtitles when another language is being used, slow-motion
effects, time jumps and place jumps.
Movement; it
is a very slow burner, but it does pick up its feet around the final section or
somewhere around here I wasn't paying attention, but it does find a get up and
go attitude roughly around the section I have already mentioned.
Storyline/Back stories/Origin storyline: the storyline is something safe and reliable, the back stories come
to us the viewers via voice-over from a character/performer or news reports be
it radio or TV and in the dialogue exchanges. The origin storyline gets covered
in mental imagery and dialogue exchange, just to finish things off in this
paragraph there is a storyteller element in this project as well.
Action sequences/Blooper/Comedy level: there are weapons being used, combat, chasing, an underwater rescue
sequence. Moving on to the blooper; on reflection at no point was this incident
covered [I can't say too much about this incident because that would be giving
too much of the film away.] But I am specifically talking about how was it
done? All I am going to say is there is no sound of a splash or anything like
this or just to cover my back I am going to say unless I have missed something
here but I don't think so.
Comedy
level; this character/performer accidentally leaves her Daughter's stuffed soft
toy [in the shape of a turtle] on the roof of her vehicle so our lead
character/performer and the viewers can see it standing on the roof as she is
driving away [our lead character/performer will pick it up later and yes this
stuffed turtle was unharmed and in one piece after this surfing experience but
he did wipe-out.] What's good enough for Scott Howard/J. Fox from the film
title Teen Wolf 1985, is good enough for this soft toy turtle, but Scott Howard
doesn't wipe-out that is all I am saying.
Character developments/Performances: the character developments and the performances are likewise
something safe and reliable including the chemistry/friction as well, but it
has to be said I was thinking there was going to be more of a character
development as it relates to our lead character/performer later on in this
project, don't get me wrong there is character developments, but the way this
film is I was just thinking there should have been more than what there is. You
see as it relates to our lead character/performer he gets treated like a
doormat for the majority of this project, so when this massive release of
pressure comes out, it doesn't come out as raw as it should have, I mean it
does come out it feels mostly ordinary besides when our lead role/performer
lets out this massive yell and other little bits and pieces in this moment at
some point and sometime later says "I can't hear you Ray" with this
face of granite. But having said that right at the end of the film it has been
designed to illustrate with our lead character/performer standing looking out
at this river and City landscape with the look of peace on his face as to
indicate he is ready to put his origin storyline behind him, another Sheriff
comes to get him in a separate Sheriff vehicle because an instant has arose,
our lead character/performer takes another look at this landscape and the other
Sheriff ask's are you okay? Our lead character/performer says Yes as they go
off in separate Sheriff vehicles so there is this character development as well
This film receives: 5/10, after
everything is said and done this mark is a reflection of this film
