The Kate Logan Affair

I don't understand why this is rated badly, probably because most of you cannot get the image of 'rory gilmore' out of your heads. Really interesting especially for Psychology and Criminology students. Alexis Bledel plays a fantastic role and it is defo worth the watch! Especially as it is based on a true story.

A supposed noire thriller that ends up coming across as a fruity and bizarre dark comedy for most of the film's running time. An event eventually occurs which then plunges the film into a dreary vortex of soulless performances, weak and uninspired dialogue, and all round sheer mediocrity. Everything that made the film bearable up to that point - the awkward yet authentic dialogue, the quirky characters and comedic cockups - suddenly dissipates into thin air leaving behind a slightly more focused film but also an ultimately depressing, boring and uneventful one. The ending's just as confused as the rest of the film. Instead of being some kind of ironic wink and nod , it feels more like a desperate attempt at trying to salvage something from the unfocused mess that's occurred over the past 80 minutes.

A minor Canadian production that brings an unusual plot, certainly it wasn't so unrealistic, as many suppose, a mature French businessman Beinot Gando work with insurances came to Canada to attend a meeting, he was mistaken with a rapist at large and a female Cop Kate Logan try arrest him, under a unfriendly approach, through his passport he proves to be who he really is, after this point the ashamed Cop invites him to a drink, as sincere apology, aftermaths both were involved by sex, then the fatality comes, a Cop's gun was shot by accident at motel room, she is afraid to be fired under this fact, they decide running, Logan takes over of all decisions, cold and scheming she try find a best thing to do, the time is running, what seems a simple misunderstood becomes strongly matters to solve, the audience hope for a fair ending, the worst still didn't come...but it is near.... Palatable and unpredictable!!!

Resume:

First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.5

The whole film feels like a Rory Gilmore dream in which Alexis Bledel tries to take acting seriously, but still fails because the script is just bad...

Each to their own. There will be people who loved it and people who hated it, for whatever reason. I myself, am a GG fan, but it was interesting to see Alexis Bedel play such a contrast character to Rory Gilmore. A breath of fresh air. See her acting skills rise.

Whether her character, kate, was unstable beforehand or whether fear and consequence made her make certain decisions, made me wonder just how far the mind can be pushed - mentally or by choice of action or environment.

Sometimes you just have to skip the reviews and make your own decision, because everyone has different tastes, and perceptions.

A 7 for me!
