The Brink

Although I only gave this a 5, I think this deserves respect for the pure dedication with who hit was made. It was clearly a project that was undertaken with passion and vision. The acting was decent in the main, and although the pacing was a little slow, I think this is clearly an indication of a film crew with future potential. Actors and directors. I appreciated it, thanks guys.

At the start, I thought it was another very low budget plinky piano miserable student art project.

As the story developed the film showed great promise and while it did not deliver what it should, it is still worth a watch.

The good things - story, decent enough script (although does has some pretty poor monologues)

The bad things - poor acting, poor dialogue, set dressing far too tidy and did I mention the poor acting?

Give it a go. You might be surprised.

An Indy, Post Apocalyptic yarn that was interesting & had good cinematography reflecting the desolate social & physical landscape where Order has broken down & the prevailing Power determines all outcomes.

Acting was believable & refreshing.

Good storyline, sound was up to scratch & delivered entertainment that saw me watch to the end.

Try it, you might just like it.

It's not often that I consciously break out of my blissful state of streaming service choice paralysis to pay for a movie, but found myself on this occasion, grateful that I had.

I approached this film with a sense of wariness, knowing that too often indie films ignore the constraints of their often modest budgets and go bonkers with CGI that's about as enjoyable to watch as the later seasons of The Walking Dead. But after the first poor chap gets bludgeoned to death very realistically (I can only assume, having never been party to a group bludgeoning first hand), I was reassured this wasn't going to fall into the same trap.

With a magnificent use of derelict and abandoned locations, great character development and a gripping tension maintained throughout, we are given a glimpse into a post apocalyptic future where extreme feminist theory that all men are total ball sacks except perhaps the odd few, is proven totally accurate.

Although the film could perhaps have benefitted from being 20-30 mins shorter, the story, plot and character personalities develop naturally and we are treated to a few fantastically poignant scenes designed to stop and make you think about the things that we carelessly take for granted.

Throughly recommend.

Inconsistent acting on a very low budget film. Most of the fight scenes are very cringe worthy.
