Moving Parts

From the very off with the fight scene on the bridge and the utterly awful acting - Oh my goodness you know what you are in for so better just switch off and watch Coronation Street instead.

Bottom of the barrel - nothing more I can say , words fail me!

I just watched Moving Parts on Amazon and it was the quirky poster that drew me in and I must say I am happy I did. This film has a retro fresh feel and what I loved the most was the plot twists! It's the kind of movie you need to put your phone way while you watch or you'll quickly get lost. I love these kind of movies where you just don't know what's going to happen!

Indy films have to be criticised in a more gentle manner than Hollywood flicks because they don't have the money or stars backing them. So, when I began watching this film, I kept that in mind. However, the acting was so stiff and the dialogue halting and unnatural that I couldn't keep my point of view in the positive range. This movie lacks continuity and makes little sense about the relationships of its actors to one another. The fight scenes in the first 10 minutes are unconvincing with camera cuts to avoid any sort of convincing acting. As well, the actors playing the men on the bridge fight scene were SO unbelievable, especially the one of the man whose wife's fidelity was being questioned. I could say more, but I won't. The cinematography was nicely done, with good lighting and nicely staged scenes.

As I see the wide spread between the lovers and the haters it's pretty clear that there were a bunch of people giving the movie potentially a little higher score than they truly felt it deserved. It's also clear that some people are just flat out disrespectful and rude and voted the film down.. Let's be reasonable... This film won a few awards one of them a biggie and made quite a few festivals so it clearly isn't junk and yes it's a low budget indie so production value is going to take a hit and yes, with a limited budget you'll end up with what some may consider a few somewhat hokey performances but this is a great story, it's well acted and nicely lit and captured.. Common decency, courtesy and sense are unfortunately getting less and less common..

Really enjoyed this film and highly recommend it. It was a good story & told well , well cast with excellent performances. and It kept me wanting to find out what happens next. A true thriller with some great twists & turns. Good cinematography with an excellent score. I agree with another reviewer that it kept my attention! I don't usually write reviews, but I really enjoyed this film & looked it up. And saw the good reviews which I agreed with. And then I saw a couple reviews that seemed intentionally spiteful & were not an honest assessment of this film. This is a good & enjoyable independent film. I definitely recommend it.
