Review by SCBRoslyn

The Shift

10/10

Not Exactly What I Thought It Would Be, But Still Terrific!

I went into this picture with a very definite idea of what I expected this to be, but it turned out it was quite a bit different. That doesn't mean it was bad, it was great and I would recommend this film to anyone. Rather than risk having any of my incorrect expectations categorized as "spoilers," I'll just let anyone else who has not seen this yet go in with their own postulations and either be surprised, amazed, or disappointed.

Neal McDonough is outstanding. In fact, I would've liked to have seen more interaction from his character in the story. Also, there were some elements that appeared in the previews/advertisements that were clipped from the movie. I saw more than a few reviewers who stated they were somewhat confused by the film - they certainly could have fleshed out the story more to eliminate that. I think I read that they were concerned about the total running time of the movie, but I would rather have clarity over an arbitrary time constraint.

Without question, I would highly recommend this movie.
