It's probably a bit of a stretch to even rate this at 5 stars, just as it's a stretch to label this a thriller. More a drama about a man who seems to become obsessed with life, death and playing God, it's extremely well acted by Ben Foster and Cobie Smulders but good luck finding a character to feel sympathy for when both leads are written as fairly unlikeable. While I had some sympathy for Ben's character at the beginning eventually it eroded. Cobie, as his wife, is written as being a bit too hard and harsh to feel any empathy for. So you end up sitting and watching a movie in which you just kind of dislike the people on screen. I found the ending disappointing and am not sure what the writers were trying to say. It's definitely an interesting watch but nothing to watch a second time. Ben Foster is such a great actor, it's a shame no one seems to be writing great films anymore.
There were a lot of car accidents in this movie, but none were as bad as the disaster that this movie was.
Apparently it's based on a short film, and I have to wonder who thought it was a good idea to make this already boring story longer than it needed to be?
It's soooooooo slow and uninteresting for the majority of the duration.
There were scenes that were completely unnecessary. As I was trying to stay focused I thought to myself "this could have been a short" and little did I know it originally was. Why the run time of almost 2 hours is beyond me.
Not to mention that the story telling made no sense.
All that time wasted on useless scenes, and you could have addressed SO many issues that just lingered, and questions that never got answered. Waste of time. If you want something to lul you to sleep...this is it.

I just want to point out two scenes, first when the accident happened and the tire ended at their home at a very difficult moment where it showed how accidents begin to change their lifestyle as soon as they enter their intimacy. The second is when he ruined the traffic lights and the street as if he was the one imposing death and granting life, giving his obsession the maximum extent, free from any controls. I think the movie revolved around these two scenes where Josh's obsession began to grow in a way that destroyed his family life and this obsession surrounded him and took him out of any moral criterion. I thought his obsession was saving lives until the last moment when he destroyed the traffic light and the street to impose what he thought was his ability.
It just moves along at a snails pace. I like the setting, the idea/story but it's just so slow. I like the direction the story goes but it's an agonizingly slow journey getting there. There are literally scenes of nothing for minutes at a time and you start yelling at the screen "C'mon something happen!" There are I believe three brief exciting scenes in the nearly two hour runtime. Several times throughout the movie I zoned out from boredom. A fairly original idea is what got me through to the end. I will say all the acting was top notch but as I said before it was just too slow. So was I entertained? Well, yes... for about 1\4 of the movie. Which is not nearly enough.
Dramatic thriller "Sharp Corner" charts the descent of average family guy Ben Foster (fine actor) from hating his job, thru leaning on booze, to sheer insanity via the titular accident blackspot outside the new home he's bought with wife Cobie Smulders and their young son. As cars repeatedly crash, and folk die, on his front yard, Foster becomes obsessed with the victims and on prepping to 'help' future ones, rather than preventing them and/or addressing his family's trauma. Writer / director Jason Buxton's second film is original, clever, well performed - tho also slow & implausible at times, with an ending that'll irk some. That said, generally, it's a good film.
