Final Destiny

This movie is so bad that the lead is a total criminal. No respect for the law. Breaking and entering / theft of private property to name some false impersonation. She cares for no one except the so called "truth". No matter who? Her friends who she blatantly uses and steals from. Doesn't cares how they feel. She is smarter then everyone on the planet. Arrogant, no feelings except for her own. Even her mother is less intelligent and she disrespects hers. Some daughter? The director fails at making her look caring with all the decietful acts. Doesn't listen to anyone. Didn't care about anyone even her brother is less important than her cause to solve the case. The work protocols in place or the law are there for a reason. They are a guide I know, but she has total disregard for any of them or the law. Abuses her authority because she's the poor soul who couldn't get ahead cause she is insubordinate and egotistical about her knowledge and skills?

Change channels before you're sorry!!!

What an odd movie. Sofia, the lead character, has to be the most annoying character ever. You are supposed to believe she is a dedicated, top notch investigator. But in reality, she's a workaholic, meddling, busy body that assumes everything is a conspiracy and will go to whatever lengths to prove she is right, no matter how unethical or illegal. If this were a true story, she would have been fired and/or arrested 30 minutes into the movie. The movie had potential but it goes woefully off track. Another Netflix special that is best avoided.

"Sophia Gilchrist" (Kerry Condon) is an agent for the FACB (Flight Activities Control Board) which is an agency responsible for examining aircraft accidents. However, as the story unfolds we learn that Sophia has an unusual trait in that she is very afraid of flying. So much so that when she finally boards a flight with her brother (in order to overcome this fear) she ends up leaving just before the airplane takes off. It's not until she is driving to her destination that she learns that the flight crashed--killing all on board-including her brother. Needing answers to gain closure she begins investigating the accident even though she has been ordered to distance herself from it due to creating a potential conflict of interest. Unfortunately, because of feelings of guilt, she disobeys orders and continues to investigate in spite of warnings to cease and desist. And her continued activity creates all sorts of problems for everyone involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an interesting film by and large but it suffered from a socially liberal bias which was simply too obvious to be ignored. It also had a rather anti-climactic ending which seemed a bit too rushed as well. In any case, I thought this movie was good enough for the most part and all things considered I have rated it accordingly. Average.

So many of my fellow dudes are so annoyed by the main character. I've seen countless movies where the male protagonist does the exact same things and no one complains about it. The acting in this movie is at worst mid. It's an interesting story with a protagonist that isn't a goody two-shoes and gets stuff done. Pretty sure that's the formula of many successful films. I didn't think the ending was abrupt. It had been building toward that for some time and was properly foreshadowed. I also like that the relationships in the movie were complicated and not just one note. Again, I think if the protagonist had been a dude, it would have gotten much less negative reviews.

This movie could have been a good movie except for the bashing of men and the ridiculous, obsessive female lead. What a complete waste of an hour and a half.
