Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/hunting/animal cruelty/invironmental/drugs/cutting/biting/drowning/shooting/dismemberment/disfigurement/strangling/choking/medical/reference to child abuse and I will be making reference to a fingered gesture in this content.

Stranded: briefly; after this private jet goes down; we only have two survivors; the newly appointed CEO of this finance and management company; Bradley Preston [Dylan O'Brien:] how can I put this nicely; he definitely comes across as nepotism baby and not a very nice individual, but he is injured and saved by Linda Liddle [Rachel McAdams:] she is in Planning & Strategy Department has worked for this company for 7 years, she is very intelligent and a hard worker, she was up for a very lucrative promotion until Preston denied it, but she is now the one that woke up first and now has the knowledge and know-how and more importantly the physical capabilities to make sure they survive.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is very good up to a certain point, basically everything about this film up to a certain point was going to be highly rated by me [which I will vaguely talk about in the final section of this content,] but for here and now by and large the framework and pacing of this 115 minutes film is really good as it just keeps things going as there is always something happening or to discuss.

Art, action and comedy; the scenery/landscape of our location has been well chosen for their survival mission; now I should give you a extra warning be it the action or/and the dark comedy references both individually or together can be graphic; so hunting and vomiting into someone's mouth whilst trying to save their life is the standard that I am talking about here.

Character developments and performances; individually or together they are both excellent, minus the stereotype character developments in the opening section as they have real depth to them as they are flawed and people, mixed in with the smart implication of which one possibly hasn't had to work so hard to get where they are today, whilst the other has worked incredibly hard to get where they are today and their characteristics show through brightly. The performance of McAdams without a shadow of doubt has to be given high praise and I do hope she gets some positive at minimum nominees for this performance; as in a nutshell as Liddle; for a heavy amount of this film she comes into her own and turned into a powerhouse as she knows what needs to be done and get on with it, on top of that, we have this role reversal were Preston quickly learns his place; where O'Brien has to sometimes really sell what he is going through at that time and also does an excellent job; between this partnership there is excellent chemistry.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; to be brutally honest without giving too much away the ending of this film is a hot steaming pile of garbage and consequently it just haemorrhaged any form of positivity it had built up before then, like I have just referenced without saying too much but enough to make my point it really does feel like the movie gives its audience the middle finger [at some point or another I will do it connecting piece of content and I will leave it at the bottom of this content when I have done it, so it will be your choice if you want to view it or not; but I digress] and there are some extra bits and pieces in the form of drawing in the ending credits.
