Turner Risk

I thought this was an in-house film made by college students who are learning film making. I hope that's what it was. Poor acting, direction, plot, and everything else.

For a movie with a small budget this movie was so well made that I had to take a pause. Too realistic almost. Very impressed. Acting and production was excellent. This feels like new cinema art.

In general ive got no affection to killer movies, but there are exceptions, and turner risk is one of them.its a teenage crime drama, where you follow a developing story in about real time, like a reality show, where the cast delivers and the score beats the your heart out and the direction and plot build up are among the best ive seen ...

becaue this is one of the most crueling impressingly uncomfortable killspree movies ive seen for a long time, and its all so very easy and plausibel, and the worst is that in a worst case scenario you can actually feel symphaty for the snapper, because its a story about bullying and unfortunate childhood experiences that drives this story. so if you want to meet the gold coast strangler then have a look at this.

the grumy old man have had some emotionally moving moments through the years picking movies by chance, and this one is real cruel and hits you like a hammer, if you live through the first 10 mins it will devour you.its highly recommended

Turner Risk delivers a well-balanced film with strong use of camera angles, music, and editing, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The cast, especially Nick Fink, shines in their debut roles. The story is distinct with its unpredictable and fresh plot, but the dark tone could have used a touch of comedy to alleviate the tension. The dialogue is sharp, helping to develop characters that feel authentic and relatable. The pacing keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish, moving swiftly between key events. The film's central message, highlighted in the final scene, revolves around adapting to unexpected challenges in life. The moment when Robby reflects on his cousin's advice, "Be the tree," ties the story together beautifully. This short film leaves a lasting impression, offering a modern and powerful experience with an emotional depth that resonates. Rating: A compelling and uniquely fresh film that stands out in its genre, making it worth watching.

I found this movie incredibly depressing, and realistic. It is about the awful world of young men now, especially young men from immigrant families who never feel like they are a real part of America, a part of its sexual mores (there is a revolting level of homophobia and sexism), its constant dead-end consumerism and careerism, and its culture of endless competition and cruelty. Turner Risk is a loser in that culture, and the victim of a lifetime of bullying; anyone who has been really bullied understands how he feels, although not how far Turner goes with his feelings. I really wanted him to nail his enemy Connor, who is the one character who gets away, but not unscathed. I think this is a shocking, and very gripping piece of indie cinema; that so much could be done so economically really impressed me.
