Review of Pray for Rain

I can not remember a film when I was so aware of the actors acting everything was so stilted, I say acting I have wooden furniture which can show a greater range of emotions than the leading actress. Netflix must be hoovering up content because this is a made for afternoon TV. There are more plot holes than Swiss cheese at one point when she enters the environmentalists office a woman thanks her for saving her, I will be honest it hardly kept my full attention but I could not recall the scene, I take it, it ended up on the editors floor where the rest of this film should have ended up. There was so much to dislike in the film but what was going on with the colour? watching it you discover what being colour blind feels like, everything seems dulled down. So it was funded by a corporation which wanted to present plucky chiselled chinned farmers against evil environmentalists. So gangs of blokes are allowed to burn, kill, threaten rape, use intimidation to force money or sell up and the local sheriff never thinks I need help to the lightbulb moment and he calls the FBI. At the end the reporter working in a vibrant job in New York gives up to live in a dust bowl. Dross is being kind and so is 1 star.
