Roadkill

The first half of this movie is mind numbing. The plot drags and most of the scenes feel like pointless filler. If it was up to me the first half would be condensed to 15 minutes. I would have stopped the movie had I not been at the cinema. We decided to stick it out and it did pick up. Things started to get interesting enough that the acting and dialogue didn't get in the way of the intrigue. The ending (the last 5 minutes or so) however really disappointed. It was frustrating and the exciting drama from moments before fell apart.

I don't regret going to see the movie. It had a great sequence using clever shots to hide information and interesting uses of showing where events took place in the timeline. There were a few points that genuinely felt like great film but that just made the rest of the point all the more disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this movie but I would be interested in seeing the director's future work. The plot isn't anything new but the directing does put some life into it and there was enough to keep me curious about what would happen.

So maybe don't run to see this but keep an open mind for what may come next!
