Anderson Falls

Epic failure to execute what could have had great potential as far as plot line. Felt like watching a rejected entry to film school. So many things wrong it's hard to sum up so would just suggest a hard pass and save an hour and a half out of your life you can never get back.

I'm not sure why all of the severely negative reviews. I enjoyed this movie. Sure, some faults, but...what the heck! It was pretty good and not a waste of my time on a late Sunday evening.

I am a tad puzzled by low scores, giving it one or two stars is simply not fair. The movie is more than competently made, some good camera work, decent acting and enthusiastic score. Granted, it does have shortcomings, holes in the story line, slips here and there, but it never feels unwatchable. Eve more so, I find it to be perfect for late night watching that does not require full attention. Solid 5/10 and, as a top 1K, I stick to it.

What are certain peoples motivations? Why are people commiting certaing evil acts? I don't think you will get the answers to that or any similar questions. What you will get is the descend of our main actor who loses a lot and "acts" accordingly. By having actors that can actually act and have some weight they add to their roles, the movie wins a couple of points.

If you are good with that, the movie will satisfy your needs. It is a good enough thriller and action movie. Gary Cole - it's been a while since I last saw him on screen. Way underrated and really good. Of course he is not the main focus, but he is important. Again it doesn't matter why things happen .. but they do happen ... Wonder what you would do if ...

I thought I was in for a good movie as this started out really well. The way the serial killers plotted out their murders to be a close to perfect crime was a great premise. The cold reality of it reminded me of "Henry: Portrait of a serial killer". Then the movie sinks faster than a rock in a lake. As soon as the detective went into "think like the killers" mode, it got stupid. Then he makes so many bad decisions that don't make sense, which ends up getting more innocent people killed. This movie could have been good, but the writer got in the way with some unplausible stupid ideas. The ending was just as bad and didn't make sense. The big emotional moment in the end was meaningless. This is a good example of how NOT to make a movie. Pure stupidity.
