I’m a little behind on my reviews so before I cover the film we saw today, I thought I’d do a little round up of the last two films we saw, in April.
Death Of A Unicorn. What can I say, it was both disturbing and unexpected. The concept of killer unicorns is a new one on me and a far cry from the Build A Bear creation I own (“he’s sooooo fluffy”). But while this film was exponentially darker than I anticipated from the trailer, it was an interesting concept. The greed and hubris of man will ultimately be defeated by the fantastical creatures of our fairy tales, and only the pure of heart will survive. Or it was just a dreadful film with very little plot, very dark (and often not very funny) humour and a cast that really weren’t sure whether the writers/directors were serious when they sent them the script. I’m not entirely sure either. 4/10
The Amateur. This was a mediocre spy thriller affair. Remi Malik as a computer genius turned vigilante was neither believable nor engaging. There was a pretty standard plot (man’s wife is killed, man chases bad guys, man confounds government agency, blah blah blah). There wasn’t anything dreadful about the film, it just wasn’t anything special. 5/10
Anfield Girl….
