I sometimes really, wonder (and no disrespect, trust me
) is if you even pay attention to the dialogues in the context in which they are spoken . Drama Genre (specifically dealing with complex human emotions is definately not for you I can bet on that). Just read few review and discuession threads on Demolition, you might understand, what I am talking about.
I would always prefer if you put own words when making such comments rather pointing me to some random discussions.
I watched the movie, obviously not on your recommendation but on my own. I explained what I felt on watching the movie.
I found no point in the movie...it's beautifully made and well acted but makes no point.
Focuses on life of Davis post his wife's death but ends the movie even before completing the topic. I did not get a closure from this movie.
These are the questions I've after this movie...you are welcome to answer only if you do not post links to third party sites!
1>He was let off from his job. How's he handling his expenses?
2>Is he going to join the demolition crew?
3>Is he going to open his own demolition company?
4>Has he gone mad?
5>Is he going to traumatize kids on sea shore by running with them and to them?
6>Karen? What happens to her?
7>Is he going to go back to Karen, ever?
8>The kid. Is he going to continue meeting with the kid?
9>He's in the movie at least of 35-38 yrs old. What is he going to do with rest of his life?
10>Is he going to commit suicide?
Traffic 6/10
Starts from a looong way back then connects the dots. Took good pace and creates nice thrilling atmosphere during main story. Then again dragged post conflict resolution.
One time watch.
Murder in the first 8/10
Then there are times when Sam actually recommends good movie which I enjoy. That is rare but not impossible.
"Murder in the first" happens to be one such good movie which I thoroughly enjoyed. More specially as it falls in court-room drama genre.
Kevin Bacon and Christian Slater are the two pillars of this movie.
A powerful story with good acting along with good screenplay. What more can anyone ask?
