Bereamic Awesome Movie

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

JamesRutland First of all the good: good recitation. Now the big problems on this movie: **** spoiler **** 1) the female protagonist is good however she is anorexic (ok a pregnant woman could be anorexic but it's not good message for viewers nor for the person in that state or condition); 2) predictable: after 20 minutes the plot is understandable; 3) the story is clear, what is not clear is the reason the main female character continues to stay together an assassin when she is so worry for her pregnancy (that's not coherent: to live together the real menace against her and her baby); 4) she discovers the dead body of the victim of a murder but she doesn't inform the police; 5) she is worried for the disappearance of a girl but doesn't inform any authorities after having detecting the corpse; 6) the director wants to make a movie which lasts the usual time line forcing the story to be prolix and contradictory without any event to add; 7) this kind of movie often tends to implement a phantom/spirit which seems evil but it is not evil; why the spirit terrifies the person which should be help to solve the case?; why the spirit is not calm so to unveil immediately the story about her murder? ("because otherwise the movie immediately ends"). Conclusion: there is no story,,, only the try to generate a valid motivation to see the movie until the end. This movie could finish after 20 minutes. I would have to give 5 stars to this movie for effort but I'm too angry because of the lost occasion to make a decent movie. I dislike for the actors and their duty. My suggestions: don't make this kind of movie, ask for Rebecca Da Costa to eat food before to make movies or other kind of job because anorexia is not beauty but to be as coat hanger is.

jule64 I like to check IMDb ratings to gauge the potential of a movie before watching, however I'm glad I did not follow this rule for Breaking at the Edge as I would have missed a good movie (it was actually one of the reviews here that convinced me to give it a go)."The Firstling" (as it's called on my streaming service) scores points for the suspense, good scary scenes, good dialogues and a storyline that holds well enough.But to me the biggest selling point of the movie is the performance of Rebecca Da Costa as the beautiful and intelligent young wife. She brings a spark and depth to her character that is unexpected and really pulls the movie up.

gavin6942 A pregnant woman (Rebecca DaCosta) fears for her unborn child's life if she does not avenge a supernatural entity.So, seriously, how did they get Andie McDowell? Does she owe a bookie some money or get behind on her mortgage? Because she is above this sort of thing... or at least she should be."When I was shooting it, it was very intense," Da Costa said in February 2014. "I was literally getting crazy." She said that preparing for the role she "talked to many psychiatrists. I didn't want to look like I was trying to play crazy." Um, well, your acting comes across as pretty poor. So if you were going crazy, it does not show and if you were playing crazy, it shows even less.The music sounds like the theme to "The Snowman" (1982). Thank you for stealing it. The camera shakes for no reason, even when filming a scene of people sitting still and talking. Why? Was there an artistic reason for this? Of course not.Clearly the script was pretty good, because the whole idea of seeing through other eyes is great if pulled off right. This film is not pulled off right. Which is obvious when commenters think it has some connection to "Rosemary's Baby". Huh?

nathan_kugan If they release this movie straight to Lifetime channel,viewers might think that this is a pretty good movie since the way it's directed and acted is so mediocre without any suspense or scares a horror/ thriller needs,just like the Lifetime movies usually are. It had some good actors in it but the lead actress Rebecca De Costa really needs to improve her acting. When u are a lead in a movie and we,the viewers,are going to follow the story through her perspective,the lead should try to make the character more believable. Rebecca De Costa just sort of read her lines as she memorized it and acted without showing much emotions. She just looks scared or confused most of the time. The others were alright in their role but i think Gabriel Macht was wasted in his role. He is such a talented actor and deserves a better role or more screen time in the movie. Just watch Suits and you'll know what a talented actor he is. The movie,although have a cliché story,could have been made into a very suspenseful movie but it lacks totally in scares and suspense that it turns into a complete bore fest. There was a scene at about the 45th minute of the movie which i thought was a good twist and would have made the movie really good if the story followed the twist but it turned out to be a very disappointing scene that contained the most used horror movie cliché. So,in conclusion,this movie is watchable but it most probably will never excite you in any way while you're watching it and definitely doesn't have a replay value.
