Intersections

....blink, and you'll miss a clue. I had heard the movie mentioned in a different movie review so when it popped up on a free HBO preview weekend, I gave it a look. Hooked me right away. Lots of totally unlikable characters with unexpected twists. Give it a watch, or even two, so you catch what you missed the 1st time

I did not expect much from this film, but I received a lot. I really do not think this film should of been rated the way it was so low rated.

First of all it has all the good scenery film of this type needs to have. I do not know is it possible to make another film in Marocco again like this, because of the political trouble there. I am glad we got to see all the good scenery which was so well depicted in this film.

Plot is very dynamic and interesting with a lot of twists and turns this type of film needs to have. I really liked those changes and twists and turns.

Acting was very good, actors tried their best.

All in all I recommend that you see this film.

It is very surprising that this movie has a lower rating. It is actually a very good movie. The story is good and the acting is very good. All of the actors are new to me with the exception of one who acted in days of glory another good movie.

Would recommend anyone who likes good movies to watch this disregarding the current low rating. You would not be disappointed. It keeps you thinking and at the edge of your seat for most of the movie. This is not a movie that you can watch and easily predict the ending. To think that I almost did not watch this movie because the rating was a little low for me. Wow was I surprised. This is a movie of intrigue, treachery, action and deception. The list could go on.

RANDOM FILMS PART 7 Now, what can I say about Collision? Shall I mention it was originally called 'Intersections'? I'm sensing a theme here...

Should I talk about the fact that no-one can trust each other? Seriously, this is House Of Cards levels of deception...

I could prattle on about how there isn't a decent woman to be found in the movie (apart from right at the end)?

On the same topic, how about the underlying sexist message that females are only after one thing? (Clue: It start with M and rhymes with funny, though they're not spelt the same, unless you're dyslexic. )

There's a REALLY good car cra... Oh, you already guessed that by looking at the title. Silly me.

Er... The desert looks good at this time of year? Seriously folks, I'm struggling here. I've seen ALL this before... The backstabbing, the artificial tension, the stupid decisions, the frenetic last few minutes... Only, done much better.

Wondering why you've never heard of this film? Wonder no longer. 5/10

There is no 3D. No big explosions. No dwarfs with hairy feet. What there is is a very credible attempt at making a movie with thought and twists and doesn't pander to the standard ending normally required by tinseltown.

Its a movie where the value is in the telling of the story. We all knew how Titanic would end but we watched it just the same. This movie must have had the same budget as the Titanic crew spent on coffee.

I didn't recognise any of the actors nor the locations, other than generic desert. Perhaps that added a level of freshness.

If you want to watch a movie that lacks that final coat of Hollywood polish but can still be appreciated then this for you.
