This movie was another highly anticipated one for me.
This movie was released on September 23rd 2022. It is a Thriller. It starrs Thomas Jane (“The Last Son”), Liana Liberato (“House M.D.”), Emile Hirsch (“The immaculate Room”), Michael Vincent Berry (“Better Call Saul”), just to name a few.
This movie was directed by K. Asher Levin.
This movie was rated R for sexual content, violence, language, drug use and profanity.
Onto the premise: A widowed father and his daughter whose house is up for demolition, are taken hostage by a dangerous couple, who won’t stop until they retrieve what lies beneath the property.
This movie is SO boring and disappointing to me.
This is primarily because of the acting.
At first I though the script was at fault, and although some exchanges are lengthy, and let me be candid, this movie relies heavily on dialogue, but no, it’s really the acting which lets it down… and the screenplay to some extent.
It’s not to say the script is bad. Its good overall, but needs tightening up in a few place,
The acting on the other hand is an entirely different matter. Emil Hirsch in particular is SO bad. He doesn’t carry off the emotions well enough, its forced and unnatural. Liana Liberator who plays his girlfriend sidekick is worse. Their performances were a yawn fest..
Even Thomas Jane’s character seems contrived and overplayed, which leads me to believe that director K Asher Levin who directs this one may be at fault.
The story starts of well enough but sadly goes steadily down hill after the opening act and it becomes a bit of a yawn fest after that.
I’m not going to go into great detail because it’s not really worth it….
Overall I am disappointed and underwhelmed. Can’t recommend it in all honesty.
Stay tuned for more reviews.
