Neon Lights

What a boring, go nowhere snooze fest of a movie this is!! The entire cast was terrible! I mean it's blatantly obvious that Kim Coates is taking these roles and producing these movies to try and help his daughter Brenna break into the business, but she didn't do herself any favors here! And the guy who played Clay was terrible!! It might be worth watching just so you can see how bad, BAD is.

I gave it 1 stars just because minus stars isn't an option.

I watched this I'm still not sure what to make of it. It's not as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be but certainly not the best film either. I like thrillers a lot but for some reason something was missing with this film. It certainly has an interesting premise but falls sort of flat? I think some the actors were miscast in their roles too, some scenes felt like actors reading from a script rather than actually being the roles they were in. Kim coates and his daughter were good in this, I liked their characters. I didn't buy that Clarissa was Blair's mom though that felt super unrealistic and really off to me. I don't fault the actors with the material they were given it seemed like they did the best with what they had. The story was the weakest part for me. I think sometimes people forget that yes good cinematography, production design, lighting, locations etc are important but not as important as a good story that is compelling and keeps the viewer entertained. It had good production value for sure but it seemed like the focus was too much on it looking good rather than realizing the audience can forgive certain things, and as someone who loves indie films I have seen films with less production value but way better stories that make up for it because a good story is what will be the most memorable to people not some fancy camera angle or cooling looking shot. I think people who make films forget that story is the most important element at the end of the day.

As boring and pointless as it can be. I keep wondering there are people willing to invest money in producing these crap films. I lost any wish to watch it about twenty minutes into it.

It what was a "meh" movie at best. I won't give details or spoilers, but really this had little to no character development and the overall leaves wanting. The end is typical.

I am not sure what was the purpose of the is movie. The story setup is intriguing, but everything else just falls apart.

Time: It is hard to tell if you are in the present, past or in someone's head. While part of this is intentional to blur the lines of reality, as a viewer if I do not know what is going on, I cannot become invested in the story.

Several of the characters are so over-the-top stereotypical I half expected Mickey Rooney to add buck teeth and pretend to be Chinese(older people will know the reference). The nerd has to be the ccomplete nerd, the bully a-hole pretty much made the movie unwatchable with his 'a-holeness'. Each person is playing such a caricature of another character that you have no one that you care about.

Overall very confusing with no payoff.
