Of course I had not heard about the 2023 sci-fi comedy titled "Foil" prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2024. I happened to stumble upon the movie by sheer random luck, and ofcourse opted to sit down and watch it, on account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen.
Sure, I didn't know what I was in for, aside from what little I read from the movie's synopsis. So in a sense writers Zach Green and Devin O'Rourke had every opportunity to entertain and impress me with this movie.
"Foil" is definitely in a league of its own. The storyline in the movie is one of a kind, which makes it somewhat of a niché movie, and not something that will appeal to just everyone. But I think you should check it out, because it might just be something for you if you enjoy off-beat movies that aren't just mainstream run-of-the-mill movies.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is actually something I do enjoy when I sit down and watch a movie. It is always nice to see new faces and talents on the screen. And I will say that the acting performances in "Foil" were actually fair.
Visually then you're not in for anything grand here. "Foil" is not a movie that is driven by crafty CGI effects, but then again, the movie didn't really need it in order to tell its story.
I found "Foil" to be an oddly enjoyable enough movie, though it is hardly a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.
My rating of director Zach Green's 2023 movie "Foil" lands on a four out of ten stars.
