Malicious

I usually put reviews about movies that were exceptional good or bad. This time I was very positively surprised by Malicious. I thought this will be just average film that I could watch on the weekend. You know, simple plot, nice to watch, maybe some good looking actors, chill movie. But I found it really cool.

I don't want to say too much about the plot but I find this movie very pleasant to watch, it's not what it seems and I'm very glad I did give a go. Way above average, and I'm glad I still can find new movies to watch. Recently I go back to 'old' movies from 80s and 90s, because most of the movies nowdays I would call 'poop'. Not every movie, but usually they're just crappy.

I really enjoyed this movie. It started out a bit blah and it seemed like the acting wasn't too good at first. I almost stopped watching and then Jesse (the bad guy) shows up. He was phenomenal and the movie literally flew by after that. The other actors seemed to pick up as well. I loved the ending. Absolutely recommend this movie and I would definitely watch it again. A few plot holes but the rest was so good that I am not bothered by it. I thought the actor who played Jesse was outstanding and I would love to see him in other movies. Take what you will from this review but give this movie a try and I do not think you will be disappointed.

Right from the jump from basically you knew what was going on I'm actually being generous with the rating because I never heard of the Dude Kevin Interdonato but he gave a decent performance as psycho lol that's about all that's good with this film and it seems like every film being made today has to do with the same subject matter it's actually getting kinda ridiculous but if you like the movie " Funny Games" trust this definitely going to be disappointing to you and of course the acting isn't that great all not because these actors aren't known because I love indie movies and some are great but this just isn't one them.

Very predictable. First of all a random person finds their location. While on the lake, Erin appears to be looking for something. Erin randomly looks out of the window, why? Erin appears to smile in front of the ransom man , gives up her phone. Really. This doesn't happen. Gives him a cigarette in front of her stepdad and mom. What folk drink mind altering alcohol to strangers and let a stranger prepare drinks even for young girl. Set up. The mother and daughter are in on this, initially why does she asks her daughter, are you alright?

Why is Lauren and erin seems so over the top friendly toward this random man.

It was ok, but totally predictable. They needed to better female actors who can act to make this believable.

No pun intended - this is not Dirty Harry - actually I forgot the name of the character I reckon would be the one to say this. He also asks questions and he very well knows that the ... person who has to answer will not feel lucky ... though he knows he will feel something, if he does not answer honest (and right).

That said, we get to a family and they are quite dysfunctional - or whatever you would call it. The acting is not the best, there is some very obvious implications (no brownie points for guessing certain things right - dynamic and ... let's call it "relationships") ... you can not be too sensitive about things. And you may find it hard to root for a certain ... guy (again no pun intended) ... but even if certain things are questionable ... they may feel justified! Of course only in movies - as in do not try this at home. This is ... escapism (well not literally, although maybe that too at one point or another) ...
