Locke (2013)
2/10
Hmmmmm...

I watched this on the strength of several IMDb reviews that I read. I will take a note of the names of those that rated it highly and make sure to never watch anything that they recommend again.

Many of the reviews led me to this k that this was some kind of climatic masterpiece that will have you on the edge your seat, totally engrossed as the story unfolds, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Hardy acts well, there can be no denying that, but that simply isn't enough to stop it from being terribly boring and failing to convey the growing tension that it clearly set out to achieve. The only positive for me is that the film was quite short. Ideally, it shouldhave been a lot shorter.

Too bad to describe....

...but I'll do my best. The direction and acting are like that of an early 80s made for TV movie that you might see on the Hallmark channel on a tuesday afternoon. It is absolutely terrible. The only reason you will have heard of this film is because of Liz Hurley, whose son is the director, and decided to try and cast her in an 'erotic lesbian' scene. That in itself is bizarre and creepy, and I can only assume Liz's atrocious, utterly unsexy acting is because her son was watching! Again....just very weird! If you have 90mins spare, do yourself a favour and watch paint dry; It's a a lot sexier.

Hmmmm

I'll keep this brief; there are some excellent acting performances throughout this film. However, they do not save it from being dull beyond belief. I mean, good grief, it is atrociously boring! You get the feeling that someone is going to 'snap', but when it does happen it is the anti-climax of all anti-climaxes.

The Guest (I) (2014)
3/10
Seriously, don't bother.

After reading a lot of the reviews on this film, I thought I couldn't go wrong. What I watched, simply did not match the rave write ups! It was cheesy, predictable, and very badly done. So...I decided to re-read the reviews; anything with 7/10 score or higher was clearly a fake as they used the same descriptions and wording.
