Random Acts of Violence

The director seems to work hard to make this film look like a highly stylish gory thriller but alas in the act of stylishness it ends being a wannabe slasherman movie with not much thrill or solid substance. Loads of gore also do not help much to give it the crime thriller feel. Had it been made as a straight crime thriller it would have been a way more enjoyable movie and with better results.

If this were a short film I would probably rate it a little higher. In fact, my guess is that it started as just that since there is so much unnecessary filler here. And the pacing is way off. In the way only a first time filmmaker falls prey to.

The premise of the movie is rather decent but it lacks real character development and thrilling moments to be called a scary thriller. Script seems good but screen adaptation is where it was lost in translation. Overall an average watchable movie but not a cinematographic masterpiece.

The film has some interesting ideas for both plot and cinematography but isn't actually good. The plot is slow and uneventful, and the ending comes out of nowhere.

The comic book visuals are potentially interesting.

The cast is good and the technical side is good enough to watch. but I wouldn't recommend it.

The film's premise is interesting but overall lacked a sense of direction (especially at the midpoint of the movie). The technicality and cast of the movie was decent - although there was a stylistic choice of a darkish green tone in some of the scenes (I believe it was to mimic comic book visuals) which could make or break it for some people - but personally, it felt too much and unnecessary.

The film is scary in terms of the premise and could've been a lot more than just your conventional slasher flick, but the way it was executed narratively and character wise, it was more-so of a disappointing watch.
