Anchors

Devon Kelly meets her old boyfriend Will Estes. They have a wonderful time wondering why they didn't make it 10 years ago. Bill will be married in a month to Marcie. Devon is married to Mathew and is pregnant. They make love. Is that the beginning or the end? Sit down and talk. We get each other but...beautiful but impossible. They grab each other's hand. Anchors are people who get us like no one else.

I tried to watch this movie. Unfortunately it wasn't for me. Fast forwarded until the end. Story wasn't appealing. B class low budget low quality movie.

This movie you'd think was filmed and made during lckdown with the Dave only a few actors took the scene. But it wasn't. It had that feel about it. The feel that is rushed, full of emotion and regrets, and terrible dialogue.

But the acting is where I really got annoyed. Will I know people are sweet on being on blue bloods, but the constant licking his lips, exhaling etc he is awful at acting. He's only a film star because people are into his looks. Then there's the female lead, oh boy does she love herself. This is the phyco vain girl power I'll do and say what I want behaviour. It disgusted me. But I've seen all of it before. And then the end scene with the cringe romantic stuff, ONG just leave it out. It was clear from the start these two characters were Randy and up for a bit. We knew they wanted a bit. They just didn't want to admit it and made everyone wait. Urgh desperate stuff.

This movie caught me by surprise. The idea that somehow life could have been different, better, just if.... But we are were we are meant to be and the past happened for a reason. Two ex lovers meet accidentally and the try to resolve their past.The acting by both actors is powerful and the chemistry between the characters is palpable. Will Estes nuanced acting is superior and stands out; he is able to bring out a range of emotions, in the character and the viewer. It's mostly conversation between two people. So, if you like action, sci-fi, or big budget films, this is not for you. This movie is more for the independent movie lovers. I would love to watch more from these actors and director.
