Long Weekend (2008)
A waste of time
Obviously, the director of this picture intended to wrap his environmental message into a thriller, but literally got lost on the way -- just like the characters in the film. Really disappointing.
The acting isn't that bad, but the design of the characters is rather limiting. Especially the role of the nagging wife. The worst thing is that she never stops complaining. And I don't feel like watching a couple arguing and fighting throughout the entire film -- it doesn't add anything to a story that lacks substance.
On the upside, the location is exceptionally beautiful, supporting the underlying environmental theme.
Net, you keep waiting for something to happen, only to be surprised by a sudden radical and totally exaggerated series of events at the end.
