The Warning (2018)
7/10
Mother and child reunion.
12 April 2021
A disturbing movie, in which a guy sees (or thinks he sees) an arithmetic connection between shootings in a gas station which claimed five lives : the total of the age of the victims is oddly the same and it happened several times ,within decades of one another ; but this man is a mentally-sick man ,who swallows pills every day ,even though the rapport he has with the other characters is quite normal; he even shows altruism and compassion when his best friend is rushed to the hospital.

There are many interesting subjects in this thriller, notably bullying and harassment at school in a plot which seems independent of the main story ,but becomes little by little the most gripping of the film: this mother ,although she complains at school ,wants her son to be a man and to overcome his jitters ,even though the boy , victim of a hateful blackmail by his school mates,has received an ominous warning .It's finally this mother-and-child relationship which saves the confused final sequences .
