Turner Risk

For a movie with a small budget this movie was so well made that I had to take a pause. Too realistic almost. Very impressed. Acting and production was excellent. This feels like new cinema art.

In the first 20 minutes the potential was there, primarily via Nick Fink's performance. Once the other actors take over as an ensemble seeking the titular character, their incessant, chirpy dialogue, most of which attempts to be funny but rarely lands, becomes excruciating.

The Turner Risk drinking game would be to simply down a shot every time someone says: "What's that supposed to mean?!" You'd be unable to walk by the credits.

Some flashes of quality here - but for the writer and director's next projects, they'd likely benefit from more time in the editing room and less time focused on trying to make every character an amateurish insult comic.

Turner Risk is definitely a nice surprise; it 's hard to get into the head of a serial killer... why he does what he does... In the case of Turner, well he never seems the right fit; which leads to a terrible path he is taking. I must say all the young actors did a great job in this movie. Some of the realistic violence must have hunted their dreams for quite a bit. I hope this movie will get some more viewers, it surely deserves it.

I thought this was an in-house film made by college students who are learning film making. I hope that's what it was. Poor acting, direction, plot, and everything else.

Turner Risk delivers a well-balanced film with strong use of camera angles, music, and editing, creating a harmonious atmosphere. The cast, especially Nick Fink, shines in their debut roles. The story is distinct with its unpredictable and fresh plot, but the dark tone could have used a touch of comedy to alleviate the tension. The dialogue is sharp, helping to develop characters that feel authentic and relatable. The pacing keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish, moving swiftly between key events. The film's central message, highlighted in the final scene, revolves around adapting to unexpected challenges in life. The moment when Robby reflects on his cousin's advice, "Be the tree," ties the story together beautifully. This short film leaves a lasting impression, offering a modern and powerful experience with an emotional depth that resonates. Rating: A compelling and uniquely fresh film that stands out in its genre, making it worth watching.
