Dont Let Go Stars David Oh Yellow

and Storm read and is a story of a police officer whose entire family is killed in a horrific murder. Among the dead is his young niece, played by Reed. In his grief. He gets a phone call from his niece’s cell phone and it turns out it’s actually her on the other line and before too long he realizes he’s speaking to his niece in the past, and perhaps there’s a way that he can stop her murder from ever happening. The plot of this movie is similar to the 2000 movie frequency starring Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid in that film it was a ham radio and there was 30 years of separation.

In This Film.

It’s a cell phone and it’s only a few days. Nevertheless, the comparison is obvious and I wouldn’t say that I hold that against the. film but I would be surprised if that comp wasn’t given in a pitch meeting before this movie got made at some point. The clear strength of this movie is David or Yello.

Hes A Master.

He’s an incredible actor. His talent is unsurpassed he is so so good in this movie and even in scenes that are under written from a character perspective. He makes them so so watchable simply because he is such a phenomenal actor. The first act of the movie where this murder occurs were discovering this interesting connection.

That Happens Is Very Mysterious And

very creepy and I was having a really good time with it at some point. Though the movie shifts into a series of phone calls and you realize that that’s about all this script has to offer is a series of phone calls and attempts to change the past and the. future as a result for the first 30 or 40 minutes of the movie that time crossed phone call that happens is really compelling because it’s new we’re getting used to it. It’s exciting and we’re hoping that they find fresh ways to maintain the tension and keep things interesting, but unfortunately, they keep doing the same thing over and over again. It’s just a lot of phone calls and a lot of attempts to change things and at some point, the plot gets very difficult to follow and convoluted and the rules of what’s going on with this phone call Aren’t hundred percent clear I’m not sure what the budget for this movie is, but it seems like it was somewhere around Maybe five six seven million if it was more than that I’d be surprised if it was less than that I could see that happening, but that seems about where it should be and for films of that budget with minimal characters like this one there’s certain things that need to happen if you have a science fiction or supernatural twist to your movie.

The Rules Kind Of Have To

be clear that aspect of the movie has to make sense, but it’s also good to really make us. care about these characters in regards to David or yellow and Storm read. I definitely gave a blumin about them and I was on their side and I really kind of cared about what they were trying to do. But once the twist of the film gets introduced and that device is front and center, it becomes very confusing and I realized that even though the characters are pretty great. I just didn’t care because it’s hard to follow and it’s around the halfway point where a switch happens and then something else occurs and you’re sort of like wait.

What And It Suffers From That Time-Travel

issue that a lot of movies suffer from where nothing really makes sense anymore, and if you could just pick holes in it for the rest of your life, which I tried not to do. I really just try to focus. on these characters and what they were attempting to do And there are scenes where it works but there are some scenes too that just feel like very basic coverage. There’s a very long scene with David a yellow in a restaurant involving a piece of gum and the scene goes on and on and on and it’s just so basic coverage and very handheld. A lot of the movie is handheld and it feels a little lazy but it’s because of David or yellow that this movie is as watchable as it is and some other actors show up that I didn’t know we’re in the film like Alfred Molina and he’s always great and as usual whenever I’m looking at a younger actors performance.

Im Usually Looking At The Director Because

these aren’t adults you know they’re not as experienced as some adult actors will be and so. It falls on the director to say Whew that was a little too much and I’m not sure that was said enough in this movie that’s all. I’ll say I don’t really want to get too critical of a performance. I don’t like doing that it makes me feel gross. There were scenes that I felt like Ooh that’s actually kind of a cool way to do it.

I Like The Musical Score A

lot. It felt unique and it felt original. It was just that the central plot confines of this device. This phone call that’s crossed between a few days. It just became so convoluted and confusing that even though the characters were strong.

I Just Lost Interest About Halfway Through

because it sets up a compelling first act and you’re kind of on board and then like I said a switch happens and then all of a. Sudden you’re overboard from that and we have to get invested in this new direction and I’m like but what about the other stuff that happened and then they’re on a phone call and they’re saying things and I’m like but but the things that all right whatever okay. I’m gonna give Don’t let go a C+ well guys that is the summer of 2019 that was interesting. There were some good things. There were some bad things.
