Steineded How sad is this?
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
kitellis-98121 A Netflix reviewer suggested that this film improves somewhat after the first 20 minutes of watching a middle-aged woman cleaning her house. I didn't make it that far, so I can't comment.What I can say is that if you're going to make a film that begins with 20 minutes of house-cleaning, you could at least get the actress to fold the blankets neatly! I believe I actually developed a bad case of OCD while watching this movie. Either that, or it was just so dull that my mind began to obsess over irrelevant details in the set dressing.It's a rare film that makes me give up so soon, but this one managed to be both boring and depressing before anything had even happened (other than an unevenly folded blanket), so I didn't get to see if she restocked the fridge or merely emptied it.
bkoganbing In October Gale, the winds whip up into gale force when Scott Speedman arrives at the doorstep of widow Patricia Clarkson's home with a bullet in him. Just his luck she's a physician like her late husband. Scott has a real problem going for him. He served some time in Canadian prison for killing a man and he's out now. But the father of the guy he killed, Tim Roth doesn't think that was enough. He's on the hunt now for Speedman.Do I have to say more, Clarkson gets an itch revived in her and maybe Speedman's the one to scratch. In any event she's drawn into his personal war with Roth.The climax is staged very well, Roth gives an outstanding performance of a truly demented man.Nicely acted and photographed Canadian production.
Ervin Zarka This is one of the most boring movies i ever seen. Why all actors are playing so fake? Why all situations are connecting senseless with each other? And the worst thing in this movie is editing. Many many many mistakes in video editor. Acting was a fake in all aspects. That suspense was so long and boring and how is possible that all these actors were playing so weak and pretending? How is possible that this scenery is in pieces and not like a real story? I guess is all fault of this kind of director Ruba Nadda. I have no idea who is Ruba Nadda but i am not going to watch any other movie of her. Don't lose the time of public to watch some distracted ideas of you, Ruba Nadda!
Larry Silverstein From start to finish this indie "thriller" never seemed to ring true. The movie's dialogue just came across to me as non-believable as did many of the nonsensical plot situations, so I just couldn't "buy in".The talented actress Patricia Clarkson stars here as Dr. Helen Matthews, who's grieving the recent loss of her husband of 32 years. She's determined to travel alone from her home in Toronto to the family's Canadian isolated lakeside cottage, where she and her spouse spent many happy days together.However soon after she arrives, amidst a severe storm, Helen will find a young man (Scott Speedman) with a bleeding bullet wound in his shoulder and going into shock. His name is Will, and the story of how he arrived at the cottage, and who shot him, is slowly revealed.When a local handyman arrives by boat to the island and sees what's occurring, he quickly departs and sets adrift Helen and Will's remaining boats, thus stranding them there. Will informs Helen that the handyman has ties to the man (Tim Roth) who shot him and that they can expect him to return soon to try and finish him off. It will all spiral down in what I would say was a predictable conclusion.In summary, I'm sorry to say this film written and directed by Ruba Nadda (Cairo Time), came across as hollow and just wasn't believable to me, thus wasting the talents of a top notch cast.
