3 Day Weekend

Before I begin my review please ignore the tens, eights and nines ratings these are obviously from people associated with this movie.

Now on with my REAL review.

The storyline was interesting and I also liked the flashback style it was done in, now don't get me wrong this movie is far from perfect but for most part the movie ran smoothly.

The almost lack of dialogue didn't bother me, if the movie was slow and uninteresting then it would have been a pain but the movie far from dragged.

The acting for this kind of movie was good not high Hollywood style but it was still good.

So now you must be wondering why only four stars, well..... There was near the final 20 minutes where the movie ran out of steam and it seemed to drag a bit.

The sort of twist you could guess a mile away but overall this movie is WORTH A WATCH.

Every clue is provided during the movie that you need to crack the case. It's resolved at the last scene so how did you do? Thank heavens for rewind. It's a pandemic panacea for a couple of hours.

Looks and feels like something somebody in film school got a B on.

Upside - it is less than the standard 1.5hours.

Downside - it jumps around so much that you lose focus on the ridiculous revenge plan. Resist the temptation to rewind. Just let it play or watching something else. It's not worth it.

I can only remember a few words being said and almost never 2 in a row. The director will give you hints throughout the scenes as it switches from a kidnapping to a treasure hunt, or is it a reunion, or is it something else? I think film goers should be warned when such a unique technique is used. I assume the low ratings are due to those expecting dialogue to guide one through the plot. Not this film! If you are one of those people who's losing interest after the first few scenes, don't get discouraged. this movie is VERY good.

The movie keeps going back and replaying from different perspectives. It's hard to keep up with what's going on. The main character is deaf and you have no idea what she's saying. The whole movie probably has 50 words total.
