Anderson Falls

Epic failure to execute what could have had great potential as far as plot line. Felt like watching a rejected entry to film school. So many things wrong it's hard to sum up so would just suggest a hard pass and save an hour and a half out of your life you can never get back.

Good to see the venerable Gary Cole doing his stuff again but even he fails to raise this rather pedestrian movie with overblown soundtrack and some truly dismal acting above a mediocre 4/10 and that is being generous.

If you are in Covid lockdown with nothing to do it will suffice as a wet Sunday afternoon diversion but there is nothing new here, it is a bit like an episode of CSI or any other cop show on tv.

I am a tad puzzled by low scores, giving it one or two stars is simply not fair. The movie is more than competently made, some good camera work, decent acting and enthusiastic score. Granted, it does have shortcomings, holes in the story line, slips here and there, but it never feels unwatchable. Eve more so, I find it to be perfect for late night watching that does not require full attention. Solid 5/10 and, as a top 1K, I stick to it.

I'm not sure why all of the severely negative reviews. I enjoyed this movie. Sure, some faults, but...what the heck! It was pretty good and not a waste of my time on a late Sunday evening.

I thought I was in for a good movie as this started out really well. The way the serial killers plotted out their murders to be a close to perfect crime was a great premise. The cold reality of it reminded me of "Henry: Portrait of a serial killer". Then the movie sinks faster than a rock in a lake. As soon as the detective went into "think like the killers" mode, it got stupid. Then he makes so many bad decisions that don't make sense, which ends up getting more innocent people killed. This movie could have been good, but the writer got in the way with some unplausible stupid ideas. The ending was just as bad and didn't make sense. The big emotional moment in the end was meaningless. This is a good example of how NOT to make a movie. Pure stupidity.
