Acting is terrible, no pathos , i resisted 30 minutes. The plot is unbearably slow. I was drawn by the highest rate after spending long time to select a movie for the night i prime video list. I dont think the average rate (8.6 when i started it) is genuine Indeed there weere only 34 ratings. I think this movie is very difficult to see it until the ends, but of course one can try and see with his/her own eys. To me it looked pointless. The only one remarkable part is just a phrase when the actor says in the end that the "Power belongs to the people"l If this was the meaning of the movie, looks a good scope, but as movie itself will make you waste time if you are able to see it completely.

I definetely enjoyed this movie for 2 reasons: from a cinematographic point of view, as a "movie", i can say i liked it and it never, really never bored me 1 second. I was entertained for 2 hours and a half and i was even sorry when it was ended. Of course this is because due, also, (second reason) to the fact that it depicted a True Story of one of the most powerful families in the words inside the fashion industry: i was curious to see the saga of Gucci translated in a movie. It worked fine for me.

There was something that did not convince me, though: the way that the actors acted looked a bit too forced to me. In my honest opinion, this happened because there were americans or foreign actors playing italian characters (real people in life, of course). I had the impression that both the characters of Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino), Rodolfo and Paolo Gucci were a bit "forced" , falsed and taken to the extreme in their attiude. They did not look "natural" to me. It looked to me like i was seeing a teathrical representation of an historical drama by Shakespeare.

Once i read that the real Patrizia Gucci (not Patrizia Reggiani, the real Patrizia Gucci, son of Paolo), said that the film was faked, not correspondent to the real life and facts of Gucci family, and her father was wrongly depicted as an Idiot, i felt that my impression was true.

For this point and the one mentioned before, i preferred to give only a 6. And not a 9 as i wanted.

I enjoyed this film, apart from some doubts about the end. It seems to me quite unlikely and forced. Unless you wanted the protagonist to become an indestructible superman similar to Liam Neeson in Taken. Apart from that, the plot is engaging, convincing and the pace is smooth enough to never bore me. For me it deserves an 8. In short, everything ok except the conclusion, even if it was cool as well to watch it due to the pathos and the final idea (escaping the prison with swapping the cloths with the Guardian). For the rest, an excellent description of the slums of the foreign Mafia in New York, of the corruption and of the bad business that often, unfortunately, tarnish the police.

I gave an high rate, first, because I loved the movie itselft for how it has been conceived. The idea is great, with the fast camera action, sudden change of scenes that help to keep the rhythm of the narration high and gripping (i was never bored one second). But mainly what is great in this movie is the message itself that brings in: who really give powers to the social networks? And to the most creepy ones part of the deep web which can endanger our lives? Who is the main responsible, in the end? But of course. Oursevelves as users and us public. The end of the movie gives a good message: we can still act on time if we are able to understand the subtle line that distinguish "fun" with "fall into a unhealthy trap" that those online social games put: maybe the key is to be able to act on time. We simply have to learn how to "handle with care" social network and online interactive games. Once the game is ended and its life too, at the end of the movie, i had a double feeling: happy to know this but sad to realized that another horrible scenario like this will surely reborn soon unless we change our attitude towards them. We can make it.

Horror films are not my favorite ones. I watched this movie as in prime video it is (erroneously) categorized as "suspense" but iMho this is a super natural suspense-horror one, and not a simple "suspense-thriller". Basically, the story is about an alien race that is trying to replace every human being with a their own doubles. The end of film unveils the mystery behind the main character :Already doubled and replaced, she is was affected by general state of confusion in her mind after a sever car accident and she wasn't aware to be the double. In the end, the final brings a bit of suspense That makes this movie little more interesting. Not my genre but i enjoyed a bit.

The movie itself would have been a good one and got even better rating if not for the end. Well, the plot develops well. There is a mystery unresolved about whom or what is keeping company to the protagonist (the only human being acting in the film). The "presence" aboard seems to test the resistance of the actor and his capability of escaping from a lot of deadly situations. He always makes it, saving his own life. So that part is not bad as there is suspense and you keep craving to know what the hell happens inside the boat. But...you will remain disappointed by the final: you won't know whom/what was that wanted to kill him, after the fisherman finally saves his life once for all when the boat takes the man to his place. Resuming: all good but the end definitely will leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. it is ok to leave whom is watching to movie to imagine something. But this is too much.

A cheeky, cynical and wealthy middle aged man has everything many men want: a beautiful woman and an important job as civil engineer but chooses his freedom and separates from his wife after all-times fighting with her. However, he will understand that the price of freedom is high and the dark sides he will have to face convinced him to go back to his wife who eventually found her new love ( a mature and more reliable man) and rejects him for good. What he is looming for the protagonist is a life in loneliness. The movie background is the divorce law that was approved in that years and this was reported in the last scene of the movie when the facts happened: he smiles, while driving, showing his happiness after knowing the news. I enjoyed this movie and I recommend it as it tells a lot about marriage relationships and its dynamics.

I do not really fathom some of the so low-rate review to this movie. I really enjoyed it, although its apparent "slow" rhythm and narration, I think it is a great psychological mystery thriller. I never felt bored one second as it draw my attention in any scene. The main character of the film, Chloe, and her psychological status is treated in an excellent way. You can understand her situation: a 20 years old girl coming from a lost and denied serene childhood, due to the big trauma of the loss of her father, and the act of neglecting of the mother who left her apart going after dating with few guys. The small child left alone and forgotten by the mother, (not to blame the mother though, as we will see later) often spends time on her own and even eyewitnesses a murder that upset her all the rest of the life until she finds someone who believe in her (Josh) when all the other characters seems considering her a crazy delusional person. (she is kept under control by the police for suspected drugs dependency because of her apparently mental behavior (the police threatens her to put her under "mental arrest"). she indeed has periodic visions that take her out in the night in a mental state of confusion and total disconnection from the reality. As said, in the end, when her beliefs were proved right, and the man she felt was the killer will be arrested, she and her mother start to regain a mutual trust (the mother though, is depicted in trying to regain her love and trust, but she still does not believe in her, and for this reasons, Chloe keeps taking distance from her) along with her friend (and maybe future boyfriend) Josh that, feeling something for the girl, also, he was the only one who felt she was right. He has an unconditioned faith in her. The film ends with a feeling that what she lacked for, love and trust, will finally accompanied her along her new life. Nothing more right the title "wild flower, a beautiful thing like a flower, that the cruel reality of the life has made "wild".
