Wired Shut

This was a better thriller than I thought it would be. Assuming from the description I thought it would just be another man alone in the house gets robbed movie, but no it was more whilst also being a bit of that. The fact of there only being three cast members helped me see each performance and learn who those characters were easier. Getting near the end of the film it almost turned into an expressive art piece of sorts with emmys boyfriend going into what seemed like madness. Altogether a pretty good thriller.

Honestly, I don't think this film was that bad, but it wasn't that good either.

The only reason I'm giving this a 6 is because the crazy boyfriend was great and the daughter was hot. Otherwise, this film could've been a lot better than it was, starting with the writing and pacing.

How is this film got such a high rating ?

That was a reason I've watched it in a first place...The story is boring , the audio effects are atrocious , acting is ridiculous , long shots about nothing...Highly not recommended !

Firstly the music was great. The lighting and colour hue was wonderful. Great camera work. There were actually quite a few cool things that grabbed my attention, but it just didn't get there for me.

The long pause scenes, a little too long, but make sense. I appreciate slow burn films, but this just didn't fully deliver.

While I didn't overly like the movie, and I really wanted to because I did quite appreciate the elements, style and camera work. I really liked it visually. The writing was decent, but felt too predictable at times.

There's some definite potential with the writing of Peter Malone Elliott and Alexander Sharp. Definitely keep a watch out for Alexander Sharp because I feel he has got some extraordinary talent he has yet to unleash and share. I think he's on to a great start to be honest.

A rich author with broken jaw that's wired shut gets a visit from his estranged daughter who harbours a grudge about past fatherly failings.

Dad can't speak because of his jaw so there's not much conversation going on making the first half of the film rather tedious.

Add a psycho boyfriend to the second half and things pick up - they don't pick up enough to make this a good film but enough to save it from being a poor film.
