Barbarians

This is a horribly slow movie. Don't waste your time or money on it. It has no real rhyme or reason why someone would waste there money making such an awful film, they should have the money too a charity or something useful.

This movie had potential, I'm not going to lie. The story line was good, it had prospect, they could have done better with it. They gave us proper details about each Character. How Adam was a wimp, eve was the one who wore the pants and Lucas? Well he was such an effing d@#$*. Chloe or what's her name was a very flat character we just know she was Lucas' partner. Their two major flawa was spending too much time giving us proper insight on the characters and not spending time on the plot. Conflict, climax and resolution happened in about ten minutes, that was stupid in my opinion. The second flaw was with the loose plot hole. So many unimportant things presented to us as important. For example the fox! What was the use? The significance, they showed that sh@*# a million times I thought it was going to be important to the story but alas it wasn't. Anyway they could have done better, acting was good too. It's passable, nothing great about it.

This film mangles the story of this type of film. Annoying people with secrets come together. And then a seige happens, tormenting them. And more stupidity ensues. Actors do well with what they are given, but unfortunately, there is little given to them. Nothing new to this genre of film.

I still can't answer that question after watching the movie. It's not terrible, I was mildly entertained through most of it. But it doesn't really feel like it has a point. There is a bunch of extra information that you think will play some part in the story but has no relevance. It tries to have some themes and character arcs but they don't work. It's a poor attempt, but I didn't hate watching it. (1 viewing, 4/24/2022)

The structuring of this movie is utterly bizarre. Almost an hour into a 90 minute movie nothing had happened. Just endless talk about nothing interesting. Was this supposed to be extreme effort put into character development, so that when the event the movie should've been about actually happens we care more? If so, it did not work.

I can handle a slow build up if it's done well. But this was basically just watching a group of adults act like no adults in the history of humanity have ever acted. Then when the event actually happens it has to be worth it for the patience you have invested, right? In this case it wasn't at all. It was just weird.

It was hard to find much to like about this one. The cast try their best to bring some life out of the script but even that mostly falls pretty flat. Not a lot to see here. 4/10.
