Don't Breathe (2016)
Not what I hoped
This review contains spoilers. There is no sugar coating the fact that this movie is just awful. The movie had a good premise. A break in gone wrong. However that was the only thing done well. After the premise that nothing went well. The characters were just awful. The acting was mediocre and the characters were so stereotypical it was just lazy. The head bad guy is dumb and tough. His girl is a kindhearted but misguided type. She has an unrequited love interest in the third wheel of the group. Of course this character is the brains of the operation. The blind guy who is being robbed is Dare Devil like in his abilities to fight and move about his house. The blind man's back story is another cliché. He suffers the loss of his child and then imprisons the women responsible for her death. The fact this women is even in the movie doesn't add anything to the story. Overall just a bad movie and one to avoid.
The Boy (2015)
Boring
After seeing the commercials and watching the preview for this movie I was excited to see it. However, after actually watching it on IFC on Friday night my excitement quickly subsided and I was amazed at how boring the movie turned out to be. I kept hoping it would get better but it didn't. It was hard to watch the whole movie but I wanted to make sure I gave it every chance to get better. It did not get better. The characters are very weak and there is not a lot of depth to them. The acting isn't bad. The movie has some good talent in it. The writing (or lack there of) is what kills this movie. We are essentially watching a bored child mope around a motel and take his frustration out on everything and everyone around him. Perhaps they could have done a little more background on the farther son relation so that we had a better understanding of the back story. The movie billed itself as a thriller but this was anything but. Not a worthwhile movie to watch. Very boring.
