Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
tommo-59790 Me and the wife are very poor at watching TV (at 60 years old we have NEVER had terrestrial TV and only acquired Netflix a couple of years ago) so I cannot base this review on a lot of comparisons. We enjoy these jolly 'cop' dramas though - and this was the usual 'well - let's have a look and see if it's any good'What a joy. The script, the acting - wow. Most of the characters were fine - a couple were annoying but - in general - cast was spot on.Review here say it's slow - mebe that's kinda the society we live in now - lots of consumers want fast paced action and are not capable of giving art a time to develop? I dunno. All I can say is the action is in the dialogue - as well as in the visuals. The final scenes - heart breaking. Took me a couple of minutes to compose myself at the end - no joke. Even thinking of those last 10 minutes now brings tears to my eyes. Now - as far as I am concerned - that is powerful film making!Enjoy!
glenjue-20890 Throughly enjoy this series, worthy of a prequel. A great cast well written shame there's only one series
nuurhasan It is the type of show that people with lots of time and an easy life can enjoy. It is slow, weak and implores psychological perils of different human beings. The reason I say it is for a certain type of people; it is as far away as reality as you can have. Life is fast paced and keeps us all occupied. We do not want a TV show that takes us into a pointless fantasy land that doesn't make any sense. The acting is quite good, character building is good too. Dialogues are almost non-existent barring one character and his script is again, good for a literature student but repulsive and un-relatable to a normal human being. And the worst part: the show is very slow - to a point that it becomes pointless.
AnnabellaWilliam I honestly disliked every moment of this mini-series and sincerely regretted the time I spent watching it. That said, once I start something I have to finish it, so I watched every episode, hoping for a climax that never came.The plot was very slow to develop, and because of this every episode felt like a drag and never gripped me - the same applies to the subplot. The depressing overtones only made the show even less enjoyable to watch, and the character development never felt interesting; River just got more bizarre and Stevie's story played out somewhat predictably. I wasn't impressed by the acting either; Skarsgård's performance lacked emotion and Walker was just plain irritating throughout. The idea that an obviously burnt-out psychotic police officer would be allowed to roam the streets obliviously talking to himself and attacking people, let alone handle an investigation into the murder of his partner, is quite frankly ludicrous. On top of this, the "manifestation" scenes were so poorly acted out that I almost gave up on the show within the first few episodes. I wish I had.While I liked the twist, I felt like it wasn't written out and portrayed well enough to be thrilling and interesting. It kind of felt like, "oh, was that it?", but I have no doubt that if this was depicted differently or with different actors it would been shocking and gripping.The conclusion of everything was wholly unfulfilling and lacked meaning.
