Review Time
Warning: there is flash photography and flashing effect.
Storyline: it is good, but having said
that it does feel like they give too much of the storyline away when
Devlin/Northam shows his true colours relatively early on in the film which
does take the element of surprise out of things which based on my viewing
experience it could have made the pacing of the film a little bit more livelier
if they had waited to pull the trigger a little bit more later on, but in
reality the pacing is something that knows what it is doing and it sticks to
that.
Action/Art: there are weapons being used
and chasing, moving on to the art; it is in the sky of some scenes [you will
notice them when you see them they are that eye-catching] and on top of that we
have these computer elements; Doom the video game [it is the first-person
shooter our lead character/performer Bennett/Bullock is fixing from a virus]
and this fireplace done by computer graphics as well, playing of a piano and
look out for the flowers right at the end of the film.
Characters/Performances: on both counts
they are straightforward and likewise the on-screen chemistry can be seen in
the same light also. But I have to say on reflection Bennett/Bullock leads this
cast very well indeed as she urges this film forward as she is trying to get
her life back.
This film receives: 5/10, this film is
mixed; I mean if you are a Sandra Bullock fan and you have never seen this film
take a look at it; but any way you look about it this film is solid. [On a
quick side note a marking 4 or a 5 it is in the brackets of mixed on the scale
of my marking system, so I am aware on one hand I said this film is mixed
whilst on the other hand I said it was solid, I was just thinking I would point
this out.]
