Caged (2011)
harmless
The actors do a good job, but that doesn't make the movie worth seeing. Attempts are made to play with fears, but this seems artificial and unrealistic. Stylized self-determination as something wicked forbidden. Boring and stuffy.
The Last Boy (2019)
But the music!
I love SciFi, I like mystery. The actors are ok, the plot is interesting, the effects are good mediocrity, but the music! Very, very bad soundtrack! So constantly bumbling to herself. Always the same unbearable chords. Awful! I almost stopped the film, because the score is so annoying. Not only the composition, but above all because it is omnipresent and leaves the viewer no room to breathe.
Reprise (2006)
unnecessarily exhausting
Tries in vain with leaps in time and crumbly narrative structure to cover up the fact that the story is a completely unimportant boring. unnecessarily exhausting and ultimately just another film that wrongly misrepresents an allegedly depressed generation.
Gringo (2018)
missing emotional connection
Wonderfully interwoven plot levels. Good actors, dark humor, well-crafted and a good pinch of action. Everything done right? Nearly. But what is missing is an emotional connection to the main role. Unfortunately, here is trying to give all supporting roles a depth that is not necessary. This just distracts and costs too much time and prevents the viewer from identifying with the lead role. But still good 7/10 and worth a look.
