The Perception

The thriller that wasn't. Poorly written & acted. If the story was supposed to have a twist it didn't. Very predictable conclusion. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because I watched it to the end. I did look at my phone a lot & my husband fell asleep but I still let it play till the end. Maybe I hoped something exciting would happen. It didn't!

Though the story is nothing new it had a potential but bad direction, screen play and acting ruined it completely. The movie was slow (not in a good way) and and I couldn't stop looking at the time left to finish. Just as a mystery movie lover I finished watching it just to see the ending.

The Perception (2019)

A dark thriller about a writer who is losing his mind while a series of strange events, coinciding with a book he is currently writing, take on a life of its own. This is essentially a mystery movie that will keep you guessing until the very end, complete with more than one twist thrown in to keep it interesting. A watchable film that didn't drop the ball at any time, though I was waiting for that to happen, pessimist that I am. Don't let Eric Roberts name in the cast make you not want to see it either. He plays a good part as do the other actors. It's no spectacular piece of cinematic art, but still decent enough to keep one's attention throughout. 7.5 out of 10 stars.

Acting was mostly good, thought i guessed it but didnt. Eric Roberts shouldnt have been cast, just awful these days

For starter i can only say that the only thing missing in this plot is COLUMBO, yes the rain coat clad policeman acted by peter falk half a century ago.... is that a good or bad badge for this film, well it might have brought ahead a 10 from me, so this is a good movie after all.

the plot is simple, a man gets killed by the wife of the killed mans friend, no its not a riddle, but already here your perceptive abilities hit a wall or two. the story get back and forth in a fast pace,so steering with your tounge is not easy.its good acting, it has a good and emersive score, and you feel a great deal of the panick the characters goes through.

if you want an easy ride it aint, but its good for sure thinks the grumpy old man
