Last Night in Soho (2021)
Great build-up, but doesn't quite stick the landing.
This film has flawless visual aesthetic. The movie's soundtrack, on the other hand, is nostalgic because the songs featured in it are the kinds of vibrant, classic songs that our grandparents would enjoy listening to on Sunday mornings and that will always stick in our heads.
The first half of the film truly caught me; it really piques your attention and makes you eager to find out what will happen next. The second half, though, doesn't quite land on its feet. I was expecting for something authentic, but alas, the movie deviated into something I wasn't particularly looking forward to.
This movie's horror element was so overused that you would become weary of it and stop being terrified since it was so repetitive. The audiences might remain seated or they might be kept on the edge of their seats.
Although the storyline twist was something I did not see coming, it appears that they were at a loss for how to appropriately close the film, especially given how promising the first part of the film was.
Overall, the film is entertaining, thrilling, and enjoyable. I really enjoyed watching it.
The Belko Experiment (2016)
BLOOD BATH. BLOOD BATH. BLOOD BATH.
The movie is fast-paced, so those who enjoy fast-paced films will undoubtedly enjoy it. However, fast-paced films lack emotional depth, particularly when the characters are uninteresting and forgettable. Given that the movie's storyline revolves around characters killing one another, the humorous elements are ineffective. There are some death scenes that are so comical they actually make me laugh instead of crying about it.
The film is entertaining overall and lacks some specific components that distinguish it from other films of this kind. It is not a particularly original or "one of a kind" movie, yet it delivers.
Greed (2022)
It's alright, but surprisingly unpredictable.
This movie drags, there are scenes that are repetitive and pointless, and they were obviously added on purpose to extend the movie's runtime.
It is a poor execution of a slow burn film. There are awkward moments, particularly with the way Diego Loyzaga portrayed his character.
The relationship portrayed by Nadine Lustre and Diego Loyzaga, in my opinion, lacks chemistry; something is off. Sadly, they failed to match up their characters; as a result, there was no spark at all.
Although Nadine Lustre's performance is still not at its best, I have never seen her in roles like this in a film.
My prediction about how the film will conclude were incorrect, for the conclusion was something I did not expect.
