Relay

I think there are a few things, especially one... that the director thought would be a shock, a killer hook, but... nah. I had the big "secret" figured out about 1/3 of the way and I'm no super-sleuth. Flicks like Knives Out and Simple Plan were much more engaging and so many others have a better cast and acting like Black Bag.

It started off really slow. I was kind of not feeling it at first to be honest, but once it heated up it was pretty good. Despite the pacing I still give it a high 8 because it's honestly the most unique idea for a movie I've seen in a long time. In a world filled with sequels and movies based on books it's refreshing to have this fantastic new idea that's so different from everything else out there.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It kept me guessing all the way through. I was excited about the way the story was told, in that the use of the method of communication between the characters of the movie was whimsical and unexpected. I also liked that the level of fear was there without a whole lot of violence you find in some movies.

Honestly I love the concept of this movie, how one finds someone like this idk, but goodness would this be great if it existed. Also relay being a legit service would be amazing, sure it would be crossing some lines and be used by the wrong people, but what a excellent idea for keeping things private and off record. The story and emotions with this one are good, but i predicted the ending at some point along the way. Not enough action for me to want to keep a movie like this in a collection but I truly did enjoy it.

Saw at AMC for movie unseen on 8-11-2025.

This move really had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning. It had a 'what is going on here' vibe, but I wasn't confused or bored, I just really wanted to know the answer. The cat and mouse elements are really incredible and it has a great twist toward the end that leaves you rethinking the actions of a main character through out. Definitely worth your time.
