Culprit

I don't understand how a film director can cast an entire film without a single actor who can actually act. I recognized one actor from previous films but the rest were all unknowns. It is easy to see why they were unrecognizable. Any of the idiots who gave this a 9 or 10 rating must be related to the director or something. Because no halfway intelligent person could think this was a good movie. I just continue to be dumbfounded at the lack of quality in modern films. How can any movie studio make money putting out this kind of garbage? It almost seems like anybody can get a film produced today.

I don't often write reviews, but I feel an obligation to set the record straight on this one since it was rated an 8.5 on the night we watched.

I understand this is a low budget movie, but my understanding of the film industry is that the acting doesn't necessarily have to match the budget. It was poor to say the least.

Another review stated there were twists and turns. I think this could be more accurately stated as a jog to the left and then a slight course correction to the right.

I shouldn't be giving anything away by stating that I think half the budget for this movie went into a special effect at the end of the movie.

On a positive, I think the main female lead was actually pretty decent actor, but because it's a low budget movie, I don't know her name. I can't go look it up because it will erase my review. It did once already.

The movie had the right idea for a thriller that keeps you thinking.

However, it starts well but gets a bit convulated towards the ending. Although, nice to have but the directors have gone too far and spoilt a movie with much promise.

The storyline and premise for the movie is great and you want to keep watching. But the twists and turns gets a bit tiring and unreal towards the end. By that time the viewer is looking for something real but it is sadly lost and taken too far.

Sorry directors, you should do a retake of this movie to get people more interested and engaged to a final finale that is more believable.

Culprit is proof that a great film can come from anywhere, not just the big guns. The film grabbed my attention at the very start and never let go, making me constantly question everything and everyone until the very end. A solid thriller through and through that holds up until the very end. But great writing, great acting, and great cinematography will do that, you know. It's becoming more and more rare to see a film created by someone who just wants to tell a good story well, making this a solid change of pace. If you're wondering if you should watch it, I'd ask you why you haven't already?! Because I'm going back for seconds. And thirds.

I am not sure why my husband and I kept watching this movie. It seems to have potential in the beginning, but about 20 minutes in, you realize the acting and sound effects are pretty bad. And yet we kept watching. At some point, we were committed and needed to know the outcome. Due to the short length of this movie, we knew that any questionable scenes would be over soon because they had to get on with the storyline. I wonder if this was actually supposed to be a spoof because the acting was borderline terrible. In the end, there is a questionable scene with terrible visual effects, and the last scene was not the best way to end the film.
