A Wounded Fawn (2022)
Solid start, weak finish
I had no idea of what was going on after the halfway point in this film.
The first act was great. Nice premise, great acting, good environment, and setting up to be quite the thriller.
The second act however goes completely off the rails. I'm not sure what they were thinking. It turns into a 1970s psychological drama and you can't determine what is real and what is not.
This is one of those films I wish they had tested with audiences before completing the entire thing because I'm confident most who watched it were equally confused by the end.
What was the purpose of the owl? How did these people come to life?
IO (2019)
Lots of writing, very little implementation
This movie was bad.
Imagine writing a movie, and realizing just before production, that you don't have the budget to implement 99% of the things in the script, so you just have the two characters in the cast talk about them.
That was this movie.
How It Ends (2018)
So..where is th final 1/3 of the film?
Abrupt ending. I mean the last 10 minutes make no sense, don't explain anything, and create lose ends. Seems to have run out of time or money at the end.
Contagion (2011)
Where is the second half of the movie?
I went into this movie with high expectations. I was pleased for nearly the entire film, as it is very thorough and in depth. The character acting is spot on, and each provide believable performances.
There are two major issue with this film, however. 1) They try to put entirely too many plot threads into the film. Despite them being relatively easy to follow, it does lead into the second issue....
2) THERE IS NO ENDING! The film abruptly ends! It basically closes none of the threads which it opens, and answers none of the questions it poses. The entire audience sat there for 2 minutes after the film, expecting to see the rest of the movie spliced back in.
It really is as though they ran out of steam half way through writing this film and completely gave up. As an actor, I'm honestly quite surprised that none of them read the script and asked "where's the rest?"
Skip it. You'll only be disappointed.
