Searching (2018)
Missing the beat
So sad.
It kept me hooked till 1:22:22 , but the it was just fizzling out into a B-movie family action thrill.
Telling a story about teenagers and their parents in the 21st century is got to be different from my teenage life in the 80s.
I really felt for both of them, even if most of the story was even for the US a bit unreal concerning the relation between a government detective and a relative of a missing girl...(father finding out more via hacking into a laptop than IT personell from the Police ?)
but it was really sad to see it go downhill in 1:22:22
They should have left the female detective out of the whole scenario, I would say.
Five stars is ok. if you are not looking for a higher meaning (critizing social media and all that).
One more thing : just watched the commentaries of the production staff on the DVD. Putting aside the content, doing a project, first meant to be a short film, by joining the actors only via computer screens in different rooms is a new radical way to show our sometimes bizarre lifestyle and for that alone I could give 7 stars, but doing a whole film, they could have opted for a more logical approach and ending.
Hostile Intent (1997)
silly , but mostly watchable
From a women's point of view : this WAS a fascist kind of movie alright, but trying to be fair, putting the nerds on a paint ball-setting with real weapons is at least a little bit funny, there isn't too much blood involved and the horror is only mild. I never liked men's films, with all that blood spilling and the kids in the last row shouting and hooting in joy when violence and hatred is shown on the screen. There are film shown for younger audiences which indulge in this and (alas) get academy nominations... This one is definitely not in that league, SPOILER : it is watchable till the scenes (1.09 -1.24 min),where the girl is shot (strange for a main stream film and definitely not funny, guys !)and the bad guy gets shot by some kind of antitank defense weapon (jesus....). The last scene is funny again. Sorry to see Lowe in such a dumb film.
