Dangerous Methods

It is always a sad task to review a film that could have been good because it had good writing, but was not properly executed by the director and the actors. Dangerous Methods is one of those unfortunate films. The storyline is very interesting, but the actors deliver their lines in an unconvincing manner, and the director does nothing to fix that problem. The poor acting may be due to inexperience on the part of most of the cast, or it may be partially due to poor directing. Regardless, the end result is unsatisfying and not believable. At least the writers of this tale have a bright future in the film industy.

Well casted! Story line unexpected. However way to violent movie (blood) for the lifetime network. The ending was wrong. Would be better fit for another network.

Actually a pretty good movie, pleasantly surprised by this one!

Sometimes you experience indie films and it feels like a bunch of people that usually do higher budget stuff taking a foray into lower budget. The word seamless comes to mind, and I loove it when that happens. Naturalistic acting, good editing/pacing economical yet classy FX. Also it's rare that the characters are likeable(/attractive) it told a story and it did it well.

Weird, weak, waste of time. Luckily it was 4am when I watched this, so no productivity lots, just time. I agree with a previous review that the music backing track it too loud, making actual dialogue difficult to hear. An "isolated cabin" yet we easily see truck and car headlights on the very nearby road in a night scene. Awkward to poor acting on pretty much everyone's part. Casting of supports actors was hokie, especially the Police and Doctor. Rachelle Brooke Smith's acting was similarly poor; especially her nervousness and crying scenes, but at least she's very nice to look at. Weak, unsatisfying ending.

Trust me, you'll get nothing out of this despite competent direction, decent acting and a beatiful lead. It's a really un-unique, unsurprising and uninspired story.
