The Perception

The thriller that wasn't. Poorly written & acted. If the story was supposed to have a twist it didn't. Very predictable conclusion. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because I watched it to the end. I did look at my phone a lot & my husband fell asleep but I still let it play till the end. Maybe I hoped something exciting would happen. It didn't!

Acting was mostly good, thought i guessed it but didnt. Eric Roberts shouldnt have been cast, just awful these days

Maybe Sandi Gardener should first work the jobs she signed up for, and then accept new work. Especially if her project is heavily delayed.

Stuff like this might make some people really upset.

Though the story is nothing new it had a potential but bad direction, screen play and acting ruined it completely. The movie was slow (not in a good way) and and I couldn't stop looking at the time left to finish. Just as a mystery movie lover I finished watching it just to see the ending.

Filmed well and acting overall is competent but the problem is seeing Eric Roberts in the cast list - A once good actor who has turned to the dark-side like so many others and just taking the paycheque and doing the very minimum needed to achieve it rather than the artistic integrity of his previous movies and it shows in almost all of his recent movies.

This is pretty much Jessica Fletcher Murder She Wrote with none of the wit and charm of said series. It is a very basic thriller with a couple of twists you see coming from a mile away and with poor characterization you could not care less about any of the cast.

It also seems like the Director has posted a review on here criticising one of the actresses who star in this for making the movie difficult to make and this just sums it all up.
