The Tutor

Well I definitely know why they labeled this movie as a Mystery, but it's not to do with the genre. It's a Mystery because the first 30 minutes its got that creepy plot twist feeling but than you see the credits and are like how did we get here .. it's a mystery.

Almost like a couple people got together and made a trailer. Got it sold but we're like. "Crap, all our good ideas were in the trailer" let's just throw another plot twist in and jump the timeline no one will notice because after 30 minutes they are probably lost anyhow so just roll the credits. Now I am just writing anything to get the minimum characters to post this.

Before it was written the concept was good...very bad execution of a movie that had so much potential. I will find it hard to go in to heaps of detail without giving spoilers. But the basic premise i feel would be that as a watcher of a psychological thriller you start of making judgements on whether a particular person is a good or bad character and then they try and flip the story plot that people who you thought were good are bad vice versa. The problem lies they way they introduce new elements completely changing a previous persons character and motive. At one point i thought it was going to be a female arch which would have been a good change to the norm as 90% of film writing is written from the male perspective.

I sat down to watch this one and enjoyed it for the first half hour. I'd not heard of this movie so had high hopes for a fulfilling viewing experience given what I'd seen up to that point had been pretty solid... aside from a seriously questionable decision from the production hair stylist for our leading character.

Things then got so bizarre with an incredulous plot twist, that a black hole appeared and swallowed up the all common sense, sound reasoning, and logical progression that normal film making enjoys.

I called it a day after 45 minutes for fear of disappearing into the abyss of infinite absurdity.

3/10 for the first 30 minutes 0/10 for everything after.

It's odd and seem like it's going to be good but the whole storyline is terrible. How can you have no communication with anyone and not tell anyone what's going on. If you see a bunch of teenagers messing with you why indulge? I understand the other reviews when they said the writer was halfway drunk when he wrote this. Then for the girl friend to not support him any type of why. How can you not understand facts that's right in your face. Then why not go to the police from the start, why try to investigate on your own. The actions in this movie makes 100 percent no sense. And for a friend to no support you says a lot.

I think the movie had a good start, with a scary mystery vibe and good acting. Then from nowhere something is revealed and I was thinking "what?". This plot reveal is illogical and I felt like the mystery was all gone. Now the story changed from something to something completely different.

After that it just escalated, and I also think the actors overplayed their characters a bit.

The main question is why the main character choose to tutor this specific teenager. Yes, they keep saying "we need the money" but that is very thin explanation.

The story is actually very simple and they try to make it complicated without success.
