Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
scottjburzynski This seemed like the type of film I would typically enjoy, however there is nothing enjoyable about this film whatsoever.The first half is so slow-paced and drawn out that I almost completely lost interest before the actual point of the dinner was revealed. Once I got to that point, the premise of the film was *just* interesting enough to force myself to suffer through the meandering second half to find out what happens in the end... except there is no actual ending. It just stops, as if they suddenly ran out of film while shooting the final scene.Besides that, the sound editing made me want to punch my TV screen in the face. How, you ask? By starting with practically inaudible dialogue muttered under the breath, and cutting suddenly to blaringly loud transition music, and repeating that about 46 trillion times until I wore out the volume buttons on my remote.This might be the most excruciating film I've ever sat through.
Andres-Camara Para empezar, no sabes lo que te quiere contar la película hasta que lleva mucho tiempo transcurrido. Resulta que la idea es muy buena. Pero empieza a irse el guion por tantos sitios que no sirven para nada, que te aburres y nunca llega a la idea principal. Para luego no saber cerrarla.Es muy larga, no sé en qué pensaba el director. Los actores, todos están insoportables. No consigo empatizar con ninguno. Seguro que Richard eligió su personaje, él tiene una fundación para los sin techo.La fotografía está bastante bien. Es bonita, pero debería ser más fría en algunos momentos.El director es muy malo. Si hace una película así, es que es muy malo. Si no se da cuenta de que se ha perdido mucho. Los planos son simples y en algunos momentos hasta malos. No pierdas el tiempo To begin with, you do not know what the movie wants to tell you until it has been a long time. It turns out that the idea is very good. But the script begins to go by so many sites that are useless, that you get bored and never comes to the main idea. Then do not know how to close it.It's very long, I do not know what the director thought. The actors, they are all unbearable. I can not empathize with anyone. Surely Richard chose his character, he has a foundation for the homeless.The photography is pretty good. It's pretty, but it should be colder at times.The director is very bad. If he makes a movie like that, it's very bad. If you do not realize that you have lost a lot. The plans are simple and sometimes even bad.Do not waste your time
emelwill Not a bad movie, but the people will make you hate them
ebercaw The other viewers summed it up well. Despite good acting, this movie is painful to watch, not just because of the topic, but because there isn't a character who doesn't make you want to puke. The great plot twist is that the one who turns out to be "the good guy" is the one we would least expect. I would add one other "tagline" that is horribly over-looked. Instead of "What would you do to protect your kid?" maybe it should be: "What would you do to protect your boss, knowing that being complicit in a murder would ultimately bring the ax down on you?" I doubt many people would risk going to prison for their boss.
