Reviews

Quality film, unique and crafted in art, but the ending was up there with the worst. Shallow, very shallow. No sense of home, characters left in the dark, and a random scene to end it. The music is good, the videography was good. The transitions were good, the acting was average. I thought there were pockets in the film that were confusing because of the acting.

The best scene was about mid way through with the boat tipping. The sounds and the extended cuts were incredible. The ending made zero sense. They made it to a random spot and then the movie stopped. As if the budget got hit with a hard stop. Okay I'm at my limit.

From the beginning the film had me questioning what would happen next. There were plenty of actions I would've liked to see play out, but it seems like the writer just decided to close the book too early. They portrayed the different parts of the project and their roles pretty well. However, what kept this film from being great was the failure to show us the purpose behind the entire drive and desire to start this project in the first place. They didn't show what the end of the project had looked like, what the investors felt, how Eva Torres and her company ended up, and most of all how the two main characters continued with life.

Then it wouldn't be rated as high. 3 hours was stretched, there was too many "motivational quote" moments and they forced a lot of the jokes. Other than that, the acting was good from the main cast and the point when they encounter one another was fantastically done.

The original Incredibles had such a deep storyline to the characters and I felt like Incredibles 2 was missing that. I couldn't connect to any new characters. There was no surprise in the bad guys because there were really no other candidates.

Every other second is a sexual scene and it's a bit ridiculous. Without the child at the end and a seemingly normal family, this movie would've gotten a 1. Not only is the lack of feelings between characters strongly noticeable, but the entire movie is based around emotionless, careless sex. This movie goes against all typical fundamental human values and morals. From cheating to beating, it's hard to watch and figuratively damages the soul.

P.S. I strongly recommend this as a Do Not Watch.

If you like movies where characters make cringeworthy irrational decisions, this is the one for you. From not leaving the camp when they should to hiding in a tube instead of running, this movie has it all. I do give props to the killers though, they seemingly knew where everyone was at all times and even where they were going to be.

This review is a warning to all, just skip the film or waste your time.

P.s. The first Strangers was much better than this.

This film had extreme potential after watching the trailer, but failed due to unrealistic (very unrealistic) aspects of the film. This is a film that keeps you questioning the characters behaviors, but that's all it does. There is no deep connection with any of the characters simply because the lack of backstory. Also, 80% of the movie is filmed in a house, which makes it extremely frustrating to watch. SPOILERS: First, the good. The characters were played well, the filming and lighting was strong, and there was a good (poorly developed) story.

Really? In broad daylight at an LA Fitness? Next to a guy who is backing out? No.

Really? The guy is terrible at his job, allowing the girl to escape multiple times. Also, the girl gets good hits but never finishes him. These type of kidnapping films make me cringe. The ones where they attack their kidnapper but never knock him down hard enough.

There is hardly any character development and no depth behind the characters lives. The film seems to drag on and on, but finally comes to an end after multiple escape attempts.
