Warning:

lighting/racism/drugs/shooting/disfigurement/decapitation/chopping/torture/breaking/suicide/medical
Was that it? When an unknown military force hits Bushwick in New
York, it leaves Lucy [Brittany Snow:] a second-year grad student in civil
engineering running for her life, but soon enough Stupe [Dave Batista:] a
ex-Marine turned janitor will come to her aid.
The
script, frame work and pacing of this 94 minutes film; the massive problem that
this film has would be down to the script. Because it uses an outlay which is a
situation here and now based script, which basically means anything before this
or indeed after this it doesn't matter as we are here just to experience this
situation and that is it. Which this outlay works really well as long as you
don't do one thing and that is have a giant question-mark at the end of it, now
to cover my back you can work it to have a little question-mark at the end of
the title in question for whatever reason such as for an example the viewers to
make up their own mind would choose absolutely fine. But this film as I have
already referenced doesn't do that it leaves a massive question-mark at the end
of the film of what happened next? Which in turn the question has to be asked
of what happened after that? Then finally what is the conclusion going to be?
If you're wondering there is no sequel or prequel and in the interest of
fairness and balance yes I know this film was made for TV, but still they
should have done better.
The
frame work is for most of the time designed for camera to represent another
person [us the viewers] so it is really immersive, but sometimes on the odd
occasion they should have pulled back ever so slightly [I am not being too
pernickety, but when you can see a real obvious close-up of Stupe rucksack then
you know you are a bit too close.] The background music puts across on what
kind of atmosphere they are trying to build as well this can only be seen as a
positive and the pacing is solidly good as well.
Art:
the viewers get some great shots from these choppers surveying the situation
down below.
Action:
their origins is of conflict, riots and/or survival; these are also solidly
good.
The
character developments and the performances are generally speaking first of all
solid versions of their character types, with likewise solid performances. But
we now move on to Brittany Snow as Lucy and Dave Batista as Stupe; this
partnership or/and separately keep this film going there is a solid connection
of chemistry [ I should point that the solid connection is not based on their
performances, but character types,] towards the later stages of this film they
have a conversation in this laundry mat, which on one hand puts more substance
and connection/chemistry between them, but on the other hand it should have
happened at least 30 minutes previous to get a better use out of it. I know I'm
going to contradict myself here and not to give too much away I know why they
chose to do it here.
A
quick shout out to; Myra Lucretia Taylor as Ma. She is an old school
African-American woman/mother that has the respect or credibility of somebody
that if you speak to her wrongly she will more than likely slap the taste out
of my mouth as it is indicated with her son JP [Jermie Harris;] as the viewers
will instantly pick up on she doesn't tolerate anything from him, even though
he is in a game, but the sad and unfortunate thing is she only has one sequence
and yes this can be deemed as comical as specially as she is aware of this
current ongoing situation, but in her approach she treats it as every other
day.
This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed: taking everything into
consideration, this mark is the right outcome, based on everything they have
said in this content. But however this film also does have some awards
accredited to its name 2 Nominees Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film
