Looks That Kill

Story - 8/10 pros: interesting concept, witty dialogue, and fun characters for the most part. cons: it's an unusual concept but falls into some YA genre related cliches briefly.

Cast - 8/10 pros: Flynn and Telles share a clear chemistry on set. It's easy to fall in love with them as a couple. Telles in particular exudes charisma and charm, while providing some strong subtly during the more dramatic moments of her journey. Scolari and Mumolo provide nice comic relief as bickering parents dealing with a son that continually accidentally kills people in their small town. cons: some of the side characters feel a little under developed.

Direction - 7.5/10 pros: Moore creates an unusual world with a lot of originality. He garners very strong performances from his two leads and orchestrates a couple very dynamic sequences, namely toward the end of the film. cons: feels like at times there is some hesitation from the first time director to commit to a joke, but then at other times maybe he doesn't show enough restraint.

Pace - 6/10 pros: the story proceeds at a very fast easy viewing pace, you never check your watch to see how much time is left. cons: maybe it moves too fast at certain times. Seems like some characters or moments got glossed over or rushed through. not sure if that is a script issue or the filmmakers didn't always accomplish what they wanted but taking points off here.

Atmosphere - 8/10 pros: the world is pretty fun. the sets and decor have a great sense of whimsicality to them but at the same time feel genuine to the world they are in. The costumes accent the sets while sharing in that "Blegh" blahnes humor of the world. The camera work and framing seems to always have a purpose and interesting look to them while adding to the joke or emotion of the moment. The musical score slides by in the background creating a fun feel while also stepping up to hammer down an emotion in the more dramatic moments of the story. cons: a couple locations didn't seem to serve much purpose in the story

Overall Score 7 out of 10, very enjoyable watch and would recommend but not a classic.

Honestly had low expectations but really enjoyed this film Funny , sad and sweet Really good performances by the cast

With that being said I really liked the concept of this movie. I've only seen the first season of 13 reasons why so I haven't see a lot of Flynn in anything to know a lot about his acting. The movie started off quite dark and I was thinking it would be more drama then comedy however it quickly switched gears to be a comedy. I thought it might be some super dark comedy but instead it was just some average teen romance movie with a weird quirk in it. Flynn and his co star do an alright job but the movie doesn't really give them a lot to do. They kind of just walk around a lot.

My main problem with this movie is plausibility. Max (Flynn's character) kills anybody that sees his face. But he has lived his whole life without being arrested, and someone doctors or scientists aren't trying to run tests on him? As well as the fact that the whole seeing his face thing is never explained. Realistically for a lot of the movie only his nose and forehead are covered. What counts as seeing his face? Could he wear one bandage around His noise and have it count? It's just never really explained, which I wouldn't mind if the movie didn't put so much emphasis on the fact he has such a hard time making friends cause nobody wants to be around him.

Overall, it's an alright cheesy movie. Right up my friend Kiz's alley but it didn't blow me away. The last 30 minutes are also pretty slow.

Think Brandon Flynn is the next coming of James Franco. Plays the incredibly good looking guy that it is totally awkward and uncomfortable in a totally believable way, not an easy combination to hit. Really enjoyed this movie.

This film turned out to be better than I expected. Although it is far from perfect and has some problems, I absolutely love the characters and the fresh twist of humour. It is a refreshing film that is very different from the others. I love the ending and felt the overall message was conveyed very well. I've rated this film a little higher than what I would have normally given it, but because of it's refreshing concept and good writing (more so for the characters but the plot is also very good) it has earned itself an 8/10.
