Collide

This takes place in and around an L. A. restaurant over one night. Various people are dealing with their own dire issues which culminates in a devastating incident.

Some stories are better than others. None of them are perfect. Jim Gaffigan's story is trying to be too secretive. It takes too long to reveal. The whole movie is like that, but his story is particularly frustrating. The drug story is probably the most compelling, but I'm not sure why they are hidden there. As for Ryan Phillippe and Kat Graham, I don't buy that story. He wouldn't buy it. That story makes this whole enterprise too contrived.

Stellar Cast, yet unfortunate poor filming. Constant camera movement headache and distracts from actors natural talent. Shame, was really looking forward to film and plot development. Wish film had been created with alternate or classic "steady camera". Lighting not balanced, dining area may have dimmed lights for atmosphere, yet kitchen/cooler would absolutely not be dark. I would watch again if set design/lighting, and camera crew filming were scrubbed with a fresh approach. Too much intertwined from start of characters development. Reboot with better balance of set design, light & direction.

I've been searching for something to watch that Wilson Bethel has done but, as much as I love him, this is a mess!! Bad camera work. Bad writing. Bad casting. This is just plain bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.

I'm honestly trying to find anything redeeming. I can't. The casting is so bad that the actors had no chance to rise above! The writing is so bad that the actors had no chance to "make it there own". The cinematography is so bad that these beautiful people have no opportunity to look great.

I'm trying some good wine, hoping that will make the movie more palatable but, nope! Mere $100 wine cannot perform that miracle.

There are so many things I disliked about this film that I don't have the time or mental capacity after watching it to write them all here. So, I will simply say the motion sickness induced by the camera movement throughout the entire film is a devastating offense to the art of cinematography. Watching this movie is both a figurative and a literal sickening experience. The storylines did not mesh well. Lastly, all potential displays of expert acting were overshadowed by the aforementioned poor cinematography and incoherent storyline. I recommend steering clear of this film. You can't get the wasted time back.

I tried to finish this but I really don't want to waste the next 17 mins it would take to get to the end. To be honest I just don't care about any of the story lines or people. I like the actors but feel like I'm watching community theater with a hand held camera. Just bad writing I think is the problem? I've seen stories of affairs, oppression, and drug heists and this feels like maybe the film club at high school got the chance to write a script and someone filmed it. Not sure why Gaffegan or Phillipe took on these roles. The gal who plays Tamira is hard to watch. Back to Hulu search on a Friday night.
