Review of Torn

Torn (I) (2013)
6/10
Well intentioned and sweet but flawed.

This movie is very well intentioned. I did find it formulaic. Some main characters are undeveloped having lines to say but no character beyond those few lines. Much of the dialogue so obvious it's not a movie you can escape into. A manager has an absurd conversation with an employee that is completely outside of common practice. Police do a bad local cop search in a FBI level bombing investigation. Someone needed to do a lot more work and study to make this movie and it's really worth making again with better research and a better script. Five minutes each on Wikipedia would give you all the depth covered of an important school social matter and a religion. The ending has the same problems and conflicts with other facts in the storyline even though it is affectionate. I'm still glad I saw the movie so if you want to see something on the subject it is worth the time. It's just definitely not award-winning. 6/10 for the love and intentions.
