Deadly Expose

Another case of unnecessary rumbling "background music" drowning out the dialogue. Doesn't anyone who makes these things ever watch the finished product? Thank god for subtitles and rewind. Without them, I would never be able to understand the plot.

How is it possible to make a movie in 2018, that feels like it's a straight for TV afternoon pot boiler. The story is decent, but the production values are calamitous, it feels so cheap and low cost. The acting is decent, but it's too polished, too glitzy, the women are all smart, with immaculate hair, the men are all handsome and groomed. It has such an artificial feel. The scenes of the killer taunting the Police are embarrassing, the cheap mask, dodgy voice....

This instantly takes me back to a video store in 1997, I've bought a huge bag of Starburst, and this little gem sits unloved on the 2.99 reduced videos stand.

It's a pot boiler to watch if you're bored, just don't expect anything rewarding. 4/10

The eyes behind the mask were clearly blue at the beginning, and I would've sworn it was the ex-husband. Then when that theory bit the dust, the eyes behind the mask changed. I found that very obvious. Also, the overall acting wasn't very believable. I've seen far better LT movies. Sad, too, because it could have had good potential.

Watching portions of this felt like I was reading a drugstore paperback published in the 90s. It felt odd, jarring, weirdly flat and a lot like one of those midweek movies you see when you're sick at home and have nothing better to watch! Strange. That's all I can say.

The acting wasn't too bad, if you actually hear what they were saying that might have helped.

I'm not sure who is supposed to watch and listen to the final cut but they must have fallen asleep. The background obnoxious music is so loud and overwhelming that half the time you can't hear a word the actors are saying. And at times the voices are echoing.

I had to actually use closed captioning to know what was going on.

Some of the dialogue seemed too rehearsed and mechanical.

Typical police Captain who yells too much, complicated relationships, ok storyline but again, the entire movie is overpowered by the bad sound mix and is not enjoyable because you need closed captioning to know what's being said.

The actors get into scuffles without even messing up their hair. A little too made up.
