Can’t believe the rating
Thought this movie was brilliant. Very well acted. It shows how life can change in the blink of an eye, and how one decision can flip your whole world upside-down and change everything, especially yourself.
The amateur writing is clearly evident and failed this potentially great film
I get that this is a low budget Scottish film, but you would think at least just one of the 22 producers in this film would have complained about the plot-issue filled writing before rolling the cameras, and fine tuned the screenplay and final cut.Actors turned first-time full length film writers Joe Bone and Celyn Jones had a great conceptual story to write a screenplay with, but they failed with the many plot issues, unanswered questions (Mercury?), unnecessary scenes and dialogue, long length, and slow pacing. Some scenes were either too long or short, too choppy or too fast.
Where this film deserves praise is Kristoffer Nyholm’s directing in his first ever full length feature film. Camera angles, close-ups/distant shots and directing his cast were all on point.
Next praise goes to the outstanding score, which set the suspense and tension perfectly, and to the stunning setting visuals.
Then there were the decent performances by all cast, especially Gerard Butler, but I did have difficulty in many scenes understanding what they were saying (accent perhaps).
It’s a shame such simple issues (e.g. hire a seasoned screenwriter to build on the story) weren’t addressed, as I feel this film would have been near perfect. Nevertheless, still enjoyable and a well deserved 7/10 from me.
