Intersections

First of all, seeing the rating, I thought the film would be average, but when I actually saw it, i was impressed. It's definitely underrated. The film has it all - unpredictable plot, good acting, interesting characters, suspenseful moments etc. The actors were unknown to me, but they did a very good job. Although the film was shot pretty much in one or two locations, it didn't get boring because of the intriguing plot. Along the way, you learn more and more things about the characters and it's quite interesting to follow their story. I really don't know why this is such a little-known film. It was pretty intense from the beginning and I definitely recommend it to all drama/thriller fans.

The first half-hour or so is intentionally confusing and rather draggy, but all that's going on becomes apparent throughout the rest of the film, which is well-produced with good, though not great, acting. A film without heroes, COLLISION may be a bit too violent, gory, and grim for some tastes. It's also a bit too humorless and slow-moving to be called a "thriller." Still, the way it shows how the different circles of people and the supposed allies within the circles conspire and are all at odds with each and every other is thought-provoking. The whole message seems to be that "No one wins--or if anyone does, it's the wrong people in the wrong ways--when people conspire and connive over money, power, 'love,' etc." COLLISION also takes some risks in the way its entanglements untangle at the disheartening but strangely fitting end. As unsettling as it may be, this film is anything but predictable.

It is very surprising that this movie has a lower rating. It is actually a very good movie. The story is good and the acting is very good. All of the actors are new to me with the exception of one who acted in days of glory another good movie.

Would recommend anyone who likes good movies to watch this disregarding the current low rating. You would not be disappointed. It keeps you thinking and at the edge of your seat for most of the movie. This is not a movie that you can watch and easily predict the ending. To think that I almost did not watch this movie because the rating was a little low for me. Wow was I surprised. This is a movie of intrigue, treachery, action and deception. The list could go on.

I did not expect much from this film, but I received a lot. I really do not think this film should of been rated the way it was so low rated.

First of all it has all the good scenery film of this type needs to have. I do not know is it possible to make another film in Marocco again like this, because of the political trouble there. I am glad we got to see all the good scenery which was so well depicted in this film.

Plot is very dynamic and interesting with a lot of twists and turns this type of film needs to have. I really liked those changes and twists and turns.

Acting was very good, actors tried their best.

All in all I recommend that you see this film.

There is no 3D. No big explosions. No dwarfs with hairy feet. What there is is a very credible attempt at making a movie with thought and twists and doesn't pander to the standard ending normally required by tinseltown.

Its a movie where the value is in the telling of the story. We all knew how Titanic would end but we watched it just the same. This movie must have had the same budget as the Titanic crew spent on coffee.

I didn't recognise any of the actors nor the locations, other than generic desert. Perhaps that added a level of freshness.

If you want to watch a movie that lacks that final coat of Hollywood polish but can still be appreciated then this for you.
