Death of Me

Wow! Just finished watching this movie. Had 0 expectations, ended up really being entertained! Sure, some parts could've been done better, but it kept me interested till the end.

To be honest not a bad movie , i dont understand all the horrible reviews. it is not an oscar movie, maybe the ending could have been better, but we watched it on a sunday evening and we were entertained.

I'm a big fan of Darren Lynn Bousman. He directed the second, third and fourth instalments in the 'Saw' franchise and played a big role in making it what it was. He's also had some other gems along the way like 2010's 'Mother's Day'. Unfortunately 'Death of Me' is not his strongest work. In fact it's the weakest thing I've seen him put forward. The concept actually had potential which is the disappointing thing, but the way they went about structuring this movie was just horrific.

The movies opens with a very strange and intriguing scene. It left me excited for what the movie had to offer. Then as each revelation slowly came to light the movie became less and less interesting, until around the halfway point where it completely lost me. I tried to remain invested but it was just too hard. If it were not for Maggie Q's performance in the lead role, which she actually gave everything she had to, this movie would've gotten a lot lower rating than a 4/10 from me.

I sometimes see terrible movies that are set on tropical islands and wonder whether they get the stars they do to appear in the movie by the promise of working in paradise for a few months. It's the only way I can imagine them getting Q and Luke Hemsworth to sign on. This is not one I can recommend sadly.

I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Death of Me" without having even heard about it prior to sitting down to watch it.

It was nice, though, to find out that the movie had Maggie Q on the cast list, as she usually tend to be in some adequate enough movies, so I must admit that I had hoped that "Death of Me", which was listed as a mystery horror/thriller, would turn out to be a good movie.

Yeah, except it didn't...

The storyline that writers Ari Margolis, James Morley III and David Tish had managed to put together made absolutely no sense at all. Sure, for the first half of the movie it was fun enough to try to figure out what was going on, but then the air just deflated from the balloon and the movie went flaccid. From about halfway and on to the end, the movie just made absolutely no sense, and I had given up trying to figure out what was really going on. The entire storyline was just a random scramble of incoherent scenes actually.

The acting in "Death of Me" was fair, and both Maggie Q and Luke Hemsworth were actually carrying the movie well enough. Just a shame that they were severely hindered by what can only be described as an utterly rubbish storyline.

As the movie ended, I sat even more dumbfounded than I did throughout the course of the movie. There simply was no foreclosure or satisfying end to the storyline - or what was supposed to be a storyline.

I managed to endure through this heap of rubbish. And believe you me when I say that you had best spend your time, money and effort elsewhere, because "Death of Me" is just not worth it.

Actually, the cause of death of Christine might just prove to be utter boredom.

My rating of "Death of Me" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, solely because of the production value, the editing and the scenic visuals the movie offered.

I was waiting for The story to begin but no they managed to finish the movie with no closure whatsoever.

Sad
