After having my copy of Deadline sit around for over a year, and then finding out the film pick up it's 13th award (to date), I thought it was time to see what all the fuss was about...
And I can tell you, Deadline is worthy of all the buzz it's been generating. It's a mystery/ psychological thriller that succeeds on so many levels. It shows just what can be achieved on a limited budget, when a creative script meets a talented cast a crew.
The story-line is tight, and the acting sharp. The technical aspects of the movie, particularly the lighting and soundtrack choices, really help to increase the mood of the film. It's creepy!
Deadline doesn't boast a big name cast, and didn't blow it's budget on elaborate special effects, but the production value obtained does allows it to tell the story very well.
Overall, Deadline is much more than the sum of it's parts. If you enjoy these types of movies, you'll definitely appreciate the work that went into it, and the final product output.
Roll on the sequel...
