Criminal (2016)
7/10
I expected a government crime thriller but what I actually got was a psychopath with a tough pair of fists.

PROS: This movie was intense, that's for sure. I was really shook by the whole experience. From the first 10 minutes with RYAN REYNOLDS I knew that I bitten off more than I could chew with this movie. I enjoyed the finesse in which the director was able to conduct the movie. Although I was startled by the movie at first, I really got to see what the director wanted to get across to the audience. He had a vision and it was well broadcasted. From the opening scene to the closing I was at the edge of my seat and completely entranced. I couldn't not see the finale of the film because I had previously got so invested in the process.

PROS: The con is simple... ACTING! I don't understand how it is so hard to convey an emotion that the script has pretty much written out for you. You can't try to pull an emotion out of thin air, that's when it becomes unrealistic and shows through the film as being wicked fake. The director had the main character as being someone that it was OK to dislike, but when you got to the end you were supposed to like him. I didn't like him at all. It's hard to like someone when they act fake. That unbalanced vibe that the acting gave to the film is just plain disrespectful.
