Culprit

Of late the star rate of IMDB and the reviewers stars have becoming a big question mark to think about before watching a movie.

Culprit is a very cheaply made movie with unattractive actors, lifeless dialogues cheap product in value that screams in every frame of the movie.

It is their own business making movies like these. But why the hype and adulation. It is a marketing trick or the level of taste of the present generation?

Any way calling this movie worst than a school drama would be the highest insult to school dramas.

Iwonder if people praising this crap has seen movies like 1. Murder on the Orient Express (2017) 2. Now You See Me (2013) 3. Enola Holmes (2020) 4. Game Night (2018) 5. Incendies (2010) 6. Knives Out (2019) 7. The Invisible Guest (2016) 8. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) 9. The Girl on the Train (2016) 10. Get Out (2017) It is not even a single star.

It doesn't deserve even a single star.

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 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.

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.
