Restitution

Not a long running film so I thought I'd watch it. It had a wonderful beginning and about revenge. AND You know it's going to be good when they have a Doctors trolley wheeled in with torture instruments.

But then they start talking and talking and more talking a bit of a fight a bit more talking. The Doctors tray a waste and tease.

You wait for a twist in the film but it just doesn't come. The lead actress I thought was playing her part well but then she does some stupid stuff. Also it's a one sheriff town but he spends his time driving up and down the hill to check on the lead actress.

Even some flashbacks might of saved this film. But I don't this so. Reminded me of a bad version of EXTREMITIES from the 80's ( which was brilliant).

Acting not bad, movie is kind of enjoyable but forgettable.

With the talking back and forth it seemed to go longer than 76 minutes.

Frustrating film. So much potential in the concept but it was all just flushed down the toilet and the script just lost its way. It just didn't seem to know where to go.

Mia the sole survivor of a family massacre as a child makes so many stupid decisions I ended up rooting for the killer.

Everything was supposedly so meticulously planned yet she constantly put herself in harms way and never got on with what she was there to do.

Idiotic, reckless decisions had me saying "what the hell is she doing?" out loud. But I persisted hoping it would turn around.

Unfortunately things just got dumber and dumber until everything was just so highly implausible I was willing it to end. And luckily it was only a short film and saw free on Tubi or id have been annoyed. Ha ha.

The FX are OK. It's well acted by the two main leads (the cop and Mias old man lover are kinda weak and irritating)

The first half hour had potential but I just can't get past why she did all the reckless stuff when she had him 'bang to rights' secured to a chair.

A weak attempt at adding some sort of connection other than victim/aggressor was made which was quite frankly laughable.

The ending rushed and unsatisfying.

This must be a first time director. And I'm sure it was cheap as only cast of 4 people and one location.

I guess they worked best they could with what they had and the script them must have made up as filmed. Ha.
