Every Breath You Take - Senza respiro

A nice story executed in the worst possible way. Two talented lead actors completely wasted and the casting of Sam Claffin was so bad on many levels. It starts like your usual revenge story but the "twist" in the end which is theoretically good falls so flat because of the pace of the film. The film felt 3 hours long for its 105 minute runtime. This is a story that deserves to be a gripping thriller but it was shot like some tragedy. Sam Claffin's performance as the antagonist is one of the worst you will ever see this year.

I don't know with all the bad reviews are about. The movie is good. I liked the scenery, the tone. The movie was bright, the acting was decent. I liked the movie. It is the perfect movie to watch on a rainy day when you want to relax and watch something a little edgy but not too crazy.

Nothing new, or groundbreaking here. In fact, it's just a mish-mash of other films of the same genre. Although the few action scenes are quite intense, the majority of the film really dragged on. Saturated in plot convenience, plot holes and unrealistic human behaviour.

Watchable? Yes.

Forgettable? Certainly.

About a half hour in, it's easy to see where this film is headed so when the big "twists" come, it's no twist at all, it's just a feeling of, "You're finally admitting what we already know?" I'm a fan of the lead actors and the end has a very exciting thriller sequence but the story wasn't exactly groundbreaking.

Not sure why all the negative reviews. I enjoyed it! It's a little slow at first but stick with it because the story gets interesting and you'll be trying to piece together what is happening. I see people saying "it's been done before" but who cares. It was entertaining! Just give it a try.
