I Am the Abyss

As an Italian myself, I always hope the industry could come back to its golden era but I get deluded every time.

First of all, this movie should be renamed as The Dutch Angles for the insane amount of this type of shots the director used for 90% of the time. We got it, it's a thriller and he wanted to create tension by that technique but it's not needed for every single scene!

And the editing was not helping at all: random flashbacks, useless to the storyline, that made me take a couple seconds to understand we were not in the present.

Then the classic, bad Italian acting: I'm used to the always academic and not believable interpretations of our actors so I found this just amusing but If you're not Italian and you happen to watch this film in its original language, please remember: we don't talk like that in this country.

Last, but not least, the screenplay: very poor, with no sense whatsoever and full of stereotypes.

On top of that, a very slow pace that made me give up 30 min to the end.
