Culprit

I had no expectation watching Culprit although I am a big fan of the whodunnit/fighting for one's innocence genre. The film does not have a huge cast but is really well-acted and the story remained very suspenseful until the end and I will leave it at that... I also liked the fact that every character is multi-dimensional and that any guesses you might have about who the killer will most likely be wrong and that the film very uniquely keeps itself to a sequel. Finally I think it's great to see that you don't need a massive budget, special effects and big stars to make a truly compelling movie.

Recommended!

I am not sure why my husband and I kept watching this movie. It seems to have potential in the beginning, but about 20 minutes in, you realize the acting and sound effects are pretty bad. And yet we kept watching. At some point, we were committed and needed to know the outcome. Due to the short length of this movie, we knew that any questionable scenes would be over soon because they had to get on with the storyline. I wonder if this was actually supposed to be a spoof because the acting was borderline terrible. In the end, there is a questionable scene with terrible visual effects, and the last scene was not the best way to end the film.

I don't understand how a film director can cast an entire film without a single actor who can actually act. I recognized one actor from previous films but the rest were all unknowns. It is easy to see why they were unrecognizable. Any of the idiots who gave this a 9 or 10 rating must be related to the director or something. Because no halfway intelligent person could think this was a good movie. I just continue to be dumbfounded at the lack of quality in modern films. How can any movie studio make money putting out this kind of garbage? It almost seems like anybody can get a film produced today.

Culprit is proof that a great film can come from anywhere, not just the big guns. The film grabbed my attention at the very start and never let go, making me constantly question everything and everyone until the very end. A solid thriller through and through that holds up until the very end. But great writing, great acting, and great cinematography will do that, you know. It's becoming more and more rare to see a film created by someone who just wants to tell a good story well, making this a solid change of pace. If you're wondering if you should watch it, I'd ask you why you haven't already?! Because I'm going back for seconds. And thirds.

Of late the star rate of IMDB and the reviewers stars have becoming a big question mark to think about before watching a movie.

Culprit is a very cheaply made movie with unattractive actors, lifeless dialogues cheap product in value that screams in every frame of the movie.

It is their own business making movies like these. But why the hype and adulation. It is a marketing trick or the level of taste of the present generation?

Any way calling this movie worst than a school drama would be the highest insult to school dramas.

Iwonder if people praising this crap has seen movies like 1. Murder on the Orient Express (2017) 2. Now You See Me (2013) 3. Enola Holmes (2020) 4. Game Night (2018) 5. Incendies (2010) 6. Knives Out (2019) 7. The Invisible Guest (2016) 8. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) 9. The Girl on the Train (2016) 10. Get Out (2017) It is not even a single star.

It doesn't deserve even a single star.
