The Post

The plot is so full of holes that it would make swiss cheese jealous, theres no character development and a clear lack of both research and a basic understanding of crime and law enforcement. The writing comes across as a highschool drama writing assignment and the acting is Q List non-celebrity at it's finest. This movie appears to feature an entire ensemble of actors that have seemingly been rejected from every hemorrhoid cream casting call from the last 10 years. I truly think the lines were read from cue cards. There is no real emotion portrayed despite the extremely sensitive subject matter. It's truly a shame, this had great potential and it was decimated by horrendous writing and acting.

This plot and topic could have made a great movie. The writing made no sense. More law enforcement would be involved if two murders took place associated with the same campus. There is a video with faces clearly shown, no superintendent or principal would dare try a cover-up like this. The acting was awful; completely unbelievable. Seems like they were vilifying Texas high school football for no reason. Again, the plot and theme would make a great movie had it not been for the terrible writing, unbelievable sequences, terrible acting and overall sensibility. If I could give it a lower score, I would.

The basic plot of this movie was interesting - it could have been an outstanding crime drama. But it was not, for several reasons:

1. Some of the acting was not up to par. Had the main character made an effort to get into better condition - gone on a diet - it would have been better. The younger members of the cast performed very well, but those who played the policeman, the high school principal and the TV journalist characters did not.

2. Some of the actions of the characters were rather stupid and weak considering the circumstances. There is nothing in a movie I find more annoying than people behaving stupidly.

3. The ending, which I won't spoil here, was unsatisfying, although the ten minutes leading up to it were very interesting.

I found the film to be edgy, smooth, clever, and tells a story that no one else is telling right now in an impactful and interesting way regarding the impacts of social media on the current younger generation. The characters are distinct and played with deep care, and the soundtrack and picture value is incredible. As a small budget, independent film, it plays up to a standard of much bigger budget film. I've watched plenty of clunkers with stars made with enormous budgets, and this film is much better made, better acted, better directed, and better produced than a great deal of those others. I give Justin and his team kudos for attacking a difficult topic with entertainment value which is stunning for a small budget film. Keep it up, Justin!!

I can't understand why this movie has any good reviews. This would have to be the worst movie I have seen in a long time. The acting was terrible, every single person is robotic and it's like they are reading their lines with no emotion. The cinematography is dreadful and just adds to the movies awfulness . The story line is weak and does not engage you in the story. It's hard to care about any of the characters. The sad thing the concept of the movie is important to tell. The impact of social media and the things that people do to get clicks is heartbreaking. This movie could have been so much better to get the message heard.
