Berlin Nobody

The description of the movie plot sounded so mysterious and intriguing! With the the topics of cults & murders, i was expecting an exciting & mysterious movie. Sadly, this is more of a slow-paced drama than a thriller. The first hour was the worst, with no intrigue or mystery building. I'm not sure if it is the story, dialogue or action (or lack thereof) that makes the viewing so darn dull. But it's quite bland. Now admittedly, the last 20 minutes were more exciting, and the last bit does rather make some sense of what you were watching in the hour or so previous. The last 20 minutes, however, is not enough to redeem this movie. Unfortunately, despite the good acting & production overall, the story just falls flat.

This movie is 96 % talking....not character development talking, not building a plotline talking, just talking. Randomly. There are many conversations that goes no where and does not enhances the story.

Motivation: The movie never establishes the motivations to make people do what they do. They make decisions to satisfy the story without letting us know why they are making that decision.

Direction/Acting...in the few scenes that do contain some level of drama, the actors overact the scene which means yelling, gesturing loudly and walking out of rooms.

Lastly...boring. The first 20 minutes did little to pique my interest and even make me want to finish the movie. I should have gone with that instinct and saves myself 90 minutes of my life.

Most boring monotone movie in every aspect from script,dialog,cinematography,locations & attire.

Sadie may of did well in Stranger Things however,based on this & other performances I'm really not a fan.

Although the rest of the cast,even their acting was average to poor.

This topic of cults is beyond clichéd & has been done,so much better in the past.

I guess because it took place internationally it apparently was more unique,they could of used more locations or something.

Still got over 100 characters to go & frankly,there isn't anything else that is worth talking about.

Finally.. Watch is you need sleep!

Started out interesting, halfway through, it fizzles out altogether! I'm a bit disappointed. Eric Bana usually has better taste in the movies he decides to be in. I understand cults are stupid but couldn't they just pretend to be something believable? The premise of greed ruining our world and a common collective consciousness are doable and thought provoking but as soon as Eric's daughter gets taken the whole theory and their acting goes straight down the toilet. Do better guys you've got the ability, I just know it!

Ok, it says I need a few more words so maybe I should just keep talking about how stupid this is?

Traditional cult movies involve satanic or religious cults. Out with the old in with the new. As those two previous mentioned categories fade further and further away from the forefront of people's minds, the more relevant environmental cult, is more fitting for a modern audience.

Unlike some cult movies the leader's sole purpose isn't necessarily gathering as many followers as possible to do slave work, make her rich or even powerful. The environmentalist cult agenda is that Earth comes first and people are killing the earth. Therefore, people need to die quickly so that the earth can heal. A Doomsday Cult.

PRO: The movie does a good job at showing you how people that feel lost and are searching for something, can easily fall prey to people who just want to further their cause.

CON: The movie progresses way too fast. You barely get to know the characters and then boom the end. The ending is also predictable, although there is a slight twist with some characters.
