Dylan Schwan from BagoGames writes: John Hillcoat is a great director without a truly great film. Lawless and The Road are really well done visual poems that aren’t all that well written. Most of Hillcoat’s fans would point to The Proposition and call that a truly great film, I would call it beautiful and well acted, but once again, not all that well written. Triple 9 doesn’t change that narrative and might be Hillcoat’s worst film yet. We need to find him a great screenwriter.
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
Hadn't heard of it till I saw your review. Good work.
I think the writing was great for the core story. It was unpredictable for what had happened.
What was weak was character development. They tried a tiny bit to dig into the characters, but it felt like they were lacking time the whole way. Kind of like they didn't have time to fully develop the entire story and if they had an extra 15 minutes or so they would have.
