The Fix

In a dystopian future where air is toxic, a troubled young model takes an illicit new drug at a party and suffers a shocking transformation. She undertakes to reverse the effects of the drug, only to discover that her mutations may be the key to saving the human race.

Okay let's do the positives first... Right so now let's do the negatives: Poor acting, poor direction, poor editing, appalling dialogue, everyone angry and raving even when it's not warranted, choppy, messy and chaotic scene changing. Is that enough for you or shall I go on? I think th film tried to be clever beyond the abilities of everyone involved in it.

The scenes were rushed. The acting was subpar. I couldn't connect with the main character, and her yelling a lot didn't make me feel anymore for her or what she was going through. It was the same for all the other characters. The whole thing felt superficial. Like the movie wasn't well thought out, they just took an idea and ran with it. The story had no real point to it and felt immature. The ending was very unsatisfying and the twist it presented was laughable and made me roll my eyes internally. There were attempts to add action scenes, but the metal music was cheesy and the action was mediocre. Besides a few pretty shots of the landscape, there was not much to enjoy, other than being amused at how terrible the plot and acting was.

It's a decent flic, probably produced on a lower budget, definitely a 6 or 7, maybe a 5 if you don't like the concept, definitely worth a watch.

I wouldn't normally review films but it appears like something else is going on given the number of 1 star reviews. A scale of 1 to 10 it's a relative measure from the worst film ever to the best, which can be slightly be influenced by the reviewers preference and film watching experience. THIS IS NOT A ONE STAR film, it's so far away from that it's just insulting. I would argue against any 3 star reviews, there are so many rubbish films out there that you can't possibly put this as 3.

Kelsey Egan had a good idea and did a decent job making it a reality. The story is good, the idea even better. It connects with the past, present, and future of our world.

The directing was on the poor side as well as the overall acting. The pacing was off, too rushed in some places and needlessly slow in others.

There were clear attempts to make it look expensive on a tight budget for a screenplay like that.

Overall, not a bad watch. I have seen supposed blockbusters that sucked worse. Give it a try, if you want something indie and different.

Kelsey Egan, keep up the good work. In time you will make something amazing. I believe!

The ratings on here are a bit harsh in my opinion. Sure it's not a movie that will be remembered in the future but for a rather low budget science fiction from South-Africa it was certainly not that bad. Sure some film locations looked a bit low budget and that could have been easily fixed but besides that the acting was not bad at all and the story was interesting to follow. Grace Van Dien plays the main character and she did well. Maybe with more special effects and a bit more action scenes would have benefited the quality of the movie but overall The Fix is worth a watch if you're not too picky.
