La casa al final de la curva

It just moves along at a snails pace. I like the setting, the idea/story but it's just so slow. I like the direction the story goes but it's an agonizingly slow journey getting there. There are literally scenes of nothing for minutes at a time and you start yelling at the screen "C'mon something happen!" There are I believe three brief exciting scenes in the nearly two hour runtime. Several times throughout the movie I zoned out from boredom. A fairly original idea is what got me through to the end. I will say all the acting was top notch but as I said before it was just too slow. So was I entertained? Well, yes... for about 1\4 of the movie. Which is not nearly enough.

I just want to point out two scenes, first when the accident happened and the tire ended at their home at a very difficult moment where it showed how accidents begin to change their lifestyle as soon as they enter their intimacy. The second is when he ruined the traffic lights and the street as if he was the one imposing death and granting life, giving his obsession the maximum extent, free from any controls. I think the movie revolved around these two scenes where Josh's obsession began to grow in a way that destroyed his family life and this obsession surrounded him and took him out of any moral criterion. I thought his obsession was saving lives until the last moment when he destroyed the traffic light and the street to impose what he thought was his ability.

Great directing, editing however terrible story. The wife wanting a divorce as if the husband was some abusive, drug addict loser.

There didn't seem to be an ending, did the guy become the hero of the town? Did he work his issues. Just to cut off like that it was breaking for commercials is just sloppy.

You have to wonder why the transport authority didn't do anything to investigate the high number of accidents? At least install a speed limit or even speed bumps.

A movie like this is going to be watched by grown ups so it needs to be grounded in reality.

If the creators of this movie get a decent script they could create a classic.

Dramatic thriller "Sharp Corner" charts the descent of average family guy Ben Foster (fine actor) from hating his job, thru leaning on booze, to sheer insanity via the titular accident blackspot outside the new home he's bought with wife Cobie Smulders and their young son. As cars repeatedly crash, and folk die, on his front yard, Foster becomes obsessed with the victims and on prepping to 'help' future ones, rather than preventing them and/or addressing his family's trauma. Writer / director Jason Buxton's second film is original, clever, well performed - tho also slow & implausible at times, with an ending that'll irk some. That said, generally, it's a good film.

This movie demands your patience and attention span. But the story is most effective in this way.

First off, the acting is excellent, and Ben Foster is captivating. I sensed what may happen, but his character adapted and changed his MO a few times.

This is about an unsung hero, who goes through crisis after crisis, but insists on solving the problem himself. Cobie Smuldrrs is excellent as well, and works well in her hyper-organized, perfectionist character.

The tension builds as Foster's character realizes his true calling. Consumed with a new occupation, battling mortal danger, he seeks to fight it head on.

This film is excellent with a plaintive soundtrack, well-rounded characters; and a narrative which belies exposition and resorts to thoughtful yet misguided strategies.

This is a very worthwhile film, but it requires your attention and curiosity.
