Welcome Home

Started off mysterious and the scenery was beautiful. But then the movie drags, the acting mediocre and the twist is good but does not keep your attention.

Although Aaron Paul has mainly been disappointing after Breaking Bad, and Emily Ratajkowski is not what I would call a good actress, their performances were not the main issue that left me disappointed with Welcome Home.

Indeed, Aaron, and to a lesser extent Emily, were more than satisfactory, but as my title states, the writing and directing were atrocious. They took too much time trying to build tension which never materializes and forgot to actually write an interesting script.

Not recommended unless you really like Emily Ratajkowski and want to get a "closer" look.

A couple decide to take a romantic trip to work on their relationship. They rent out a beautiful countryside home but it is obvious it will take more than scenery to heal their wounds. After meeting a local and having some cordial interactions with the man, things begin to get uncomfortable when the man begins to give off some creepy vibes. Will they make it?

Not an uncommon plot. This isn't a film that I consider to be awful but it brings nothing new to this type of film. I thought the acting was ok but it was slow and it wasn't as suspenseful as it could've been. It simply wasn't very engaging.

Bottom line is that it's been done before. It's not great but I have seen worse. If you like films of this nature and considering it, it is an average watch.

Twenty minutes in I thought we were in for a slick, stylish, twisted thriller, sadly by the end of the movie, all I kept thinking was what if, it felt like a mass of wasted opportunities.

The couple, were rather poor I thought, I'm a huge fan of Aaron Paul, but he was very bad in this, partly due to the shocking script he was having to deal with.

On the plus side, the location was stunning, and as always the smouldering Riccardo Scamarcio is terrific, perhaps the only saving grace in what is essentially a poor movie.

The premise is good, sadly the execution, and simplicity are poor. 5/10

Just looking for another thriller/drama that waant a waste of time.. This was sooo slow. We were just waiting for a moment to jump OR SOMETHING.. Boring..
