Review of 1985

1985 (2023)
6/10
Bad writing, good directing and acting
23 January 2023
2 young Belgian men join the Rijkswacht (crossover of the army and the police) at the beginning of the 80's and are accidentally involved with every famous event from their first day on.

As you can see, the writing is unrealistic and stupid. It feels very rushed also. 1981 looks like it almost happened in one day.

Also there were subtle unnecessary changes in the described events. Like when Bouhouche and Beijer were eavesdropping another BOB-agent and his informant, was changed to them just installing that equipment at the main office where the big boss caught them directly.

But the directing and casting is great though. Especially Tibo Vandenborre as Leon Francois is very convincing. The two young lead actors (Aimé Claeys & Tijmen Goovaerts) also play very well.

If you look beyond the bad writing, it is quite enjoyable.
