Rock, Paper, Scissors (2018)
Rating is deceiving
Maybe it's because there are barely any reviews, but I struggled to understand how this movie got a 7.1, I really did!! Please, do not buy into it, for your own sake!
So, the home invasion lasted about 2 minutes, so we have a film based on the revenge of an event you barely saw. Few cuts and bruises and then suddenly they were bound for the police to find... Nothing actually happened on screen!
The first 30 or so minutes of the movie where like snippets, scenes of half events and clips. The acting was mediocre at best, it was dull and lifeless, as were the characters... Their development was awful and they weren't in the least bit believable. The lead female's personality changed more times than I cared to count.
The premise was a decent idea, but the execution was plain awful and awkward. It was a very dumb and pointless movie. The perps you never even saw! But suddenly, she's found them all with the bare minimum of any kind of research or detective work!
And the actual detective!! The movie could probably have done without him in it in all honesty. I wasn't sure of the point of him, aside from the fact that he just seemed weird and a bit stalker-like (let me point out, that I hadn't even finished the film before I wrote this! So, unless he's got some sort of point toward the end, he was a ridiculous character)
Sorry to say, I felt no connection to any of the characters, not one, not in the slightest. There was no substance to any of them, no development, and coupled with the awful acting, and countless goofs and inconsistencies, it just left me wondering why I even kept watching!!
OK, so the movie has finished now and I haven't changed my mind!! Absolute rubbish, don't waste your time. They attempted a plot twist, albeit a small one that anyone could have guessed, and, surprise surprise, it did nothing to save the movie!

Do not be fooled by the high reviews
Me and my partner have just watched this movie, and I begged him to turn it off because I was bored out of my brains!! A 90 minute movie, and the first 70 mins was something you'd expect to see dumped on Netflix - a group of randoms, documentary style, trying to debunk found footage as fake. And you don't even see much of anything in the found footage at all, there was just no creep or scare factor to it... It was just a bunch of people talking for what felt like an eternity. It was the last 20 mins where anything weird happened, but, by that point, we'd checked out!! My boyfriend even apologised to be for suggesting it! His mum called during the film and I've never seen such relief for a distraction! And we are big horror fans... I seriously wouldn't waste your time with this, it's 90 mins of your life you won't get back! It's boring and pointless. Nothing happens, nothing is explained, it's just a 'creepy' figure you can't blink in front of... Complete waste of energy. I need to go wash my eyes out with dirty paint water now!
