Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
jelinafck The history is deep and dark, but it's interesting and I like the message it comes with in the end, always stand up for others and tell others what u know.
clintstevens This movie was SO predictable, I had it figured out 15 minutes into the story. The acting was OK, but unfortunately, the dialog was an embarrassment, and got progressively worse until the inane conclusion, where everything was neatly wrapped up in a tidy package. So, if you know what will happen after 15 minutes, save yourself the time you will spend watching this, and move on to something worthwhile.
A. A I don't watch that many 'New-kid in a small town' movies, so the common premise did not eschew me (although I suspect veterans of this may still find this one is different from the lot).Natural Selection is a movie shot with an attention to detail. From the start, every character's nuance and mannerism (e.g drawing attention to how one character empties his pockets - becomes important later on) quickly blossoms into character defining details which becomes relevant to the movie's plot. The cinematography is good. I won't overpraise it by saying I saw Mona Lisas in this, but I enjoyed it enough that the after-images of some frames is still there in my mind's eye.A worthwhile watch, in a kickback-on-a-rainy-Sunday kind of way.
Catocala Both the protagonist and antagonist show some decent acting. A similarity of a troubled past and a lack of love and being taken care of, make the characters struggle with their lives. How they cope with this darkness differs strongly, which makes for a great tension between the two. The antagonist shows great acting skills by not being completely demonized, yet a very manipulative and snide boy who can't stop inflicting his bitterness and nihilism onto others. The downside of this movie is that it lays it on too thick. The overwhelming amount of dramatic past incidents is just too much to remain functional in bringing the viewer to sympathize with the characters, or even makes it incredible and unrelatable. Not all the actors are great, but it is certainly decent enough to make it worth the watch.The main topic of interest is what the protagonist will do with the different forces in his life that are pulling him in different directions, but thanks to the good acting of the antagonist this character is also interesting to watch, aside from the unfortunate fact that he is too easy to read because of the frequent references in the script to what he is planning to do. Lighting and screenwork is also suited to the story; not too flashy, but directing focus the right way. Music is okay, but sometimes a bit too standard for my taste, as it sometimes reminded me of those free tunes that come with your computer.
