Barracuda

An American thriller; A story about a young British woman who comes to Austin, Texas, to find her half-sister by way of their dead country musician father, and before long doubts are erased and chaos takes hold. There is an intriguing ambiguity to the stranger who rolls into town. Pent-up anger, pain, and defiance bubbles below the surface but never froths over into anything palpable, and refreshingly we are spared verbal conflict and manipulation and simplistic resolutions. The story creates empathy for the young woman as she tries to establish a connection to her new, foreign family. However, while engrossing and edgy, it fails to produce a vice-like grip on the viewer by the end. Instead, we get graphic violence in place of motive. Still, it is a smart, tense movie with two good performances, which make it just about work.

Talk about a wild ride of a heckava movie! This is a story about people who they think is good might often be the ones that they think is best to find out when they think they is not in the same goodness form of the people in the other room. The director guy is a new guy that has him some good ideas about the girl in his movie. who is a great acting girl! My mom and I watched this movie together on the last Friday and she did not see it all but says that it was good. It be the sacry movie for all of the movie and in the end. Please watch with your lights on!

I don't know whether the title of my review surprises u or not..... I was extremely surprised when i first finished this movie....

Thriller movies are always high rated movies..we can say that. But what this movie shows us is exceptional. Usually thriller movies starts with some mysterical incidents... Runs the whole movie arounds it and finally reveals the mystery... like Fight club, Shutter island and so on ...on...But here thrill is constructed within music.Totally extraordinary plot. I think u will admire this when u will see it yourself.

Two sister Alison Tolman and Sophie Reid have done well in the film.Let me say i haven't spotted Alison Tolman before this movie though i have seen the movie "The Gift".But in this movie she has done some good work.

Sophie Reid is as good as She was in "Beauty and the beast".The two sisters creates foggy atmosphere within the film.Their chemistry mixed with family drama made a reasonable movie for audience.

The movie runs nearly 1 hour and 40 minutes...the whole time will just disappear in front of u. at the end of it u will be satisfied..

There is no complaint about acting...direction..story..etc....etc...

When u have thriller like this in ur hand complaint is the least u can do.

This got listed as "Horror" on Amazon, it's not even a thriller. The movie is terrible...When it's over all you say is "I WASTED 1 HR AND 40 MINUTES ON NOTHING" Since NOTHING in this movie happens....

It was a pleasure to see Allison Tolman (Fargo TV season 1) cast in this little indie gem. Although this time I have to give all the props to Sophie Reid with his wild and visceral character. So in the movie, this two sisters grew up in different places and now are meeting for the first time, sharing memories of their peculiar musician father, now deceased. The problem is that as both getting to know each other, you feel some sort of mortal suspense and even danger going on. Mainly because of Sinaloa (Sophie Reid) who has a mysterious behavior that ranges from sweetness to aggressiveness. (Maybe savageness is the best definition. You'll see.) On the other hand, there are moments where she looks quite adorable, like when she is performing gigs at pubs and streets. I wrap it up saying that the movie is all about the psychology of the characters that take us into an uncomfortable territory with some well-placed surprises in the end.
