Criminosos de Novembro

This movie could have been so much better if the writer or director or who-ever had done their research. The way the whole "gang" scenes played out felt like it was written by someone who was upper class or just so naive they they don't understand the way gangs work. Too bad because the acting was not that bad..... but didnt feel real enough for me

4.1

Okay, I agree with many of the criticisms posted on here, the plot is thin and unimaginative. But the acting is good- Ansel Eghorn is okay, the others are good. The cinematography is good, even the music is good if somewhat forgettable. A good Saturday afternoon watch, especially if you can pick it up free at the local library.

I had a hard time buying into the characters conviction which is what carries the story. It was also slow and at times boring with the storyline.

November Criminals (2017) This is a crime drama about college bound friends find themselves falling for one another, but after the mysterious murder of their classmate, they defy the authorities to uncover the truth. The film has been released straight to video on demand, before a limited theatrical release. It stars Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver) and Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick Ass). These are two of my favorite young actors of today. Viewers had mixed reactions and critics felt it was very thin. Everyone seems to agree it failed to to reach its potential. There simply wasn't any movement in the film. I want to get an understanding of the crime. They failed to give us pieces to the puzzle until nearly the close of the film. This is actually a film that could have been far better with just a little more time. Both the love story and the investigation needed to be beefed up. It would have helped get the viewers more invested. I would have tweaked the ending myself. Not horrible, just weak.

I must be generous when I compare my rating to the others. I was going to give it a seven but my wife thought a five was more appropriate so a six it is then. I agree the movie could have used more action scenes, just to make it more entertaining, but overall the plot is easy to follow and not that bad. As for the acting they all did a good job. Ansel Elgort with his dorky looks wasn't bad and as for Chloë Grace Moretz, that I would qualify as a natural beauty, she always delivers in my humble opinion. I just wonder why they call it November Criminals? I thought about it, couldn't find an answer.
