Blame


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Tyler, Jordan, Amberly

So what can we blame? My natural aversion to Australian accents? My knowledge of locations that ruin suspension of disbelief? Or just the boring characters, writing, action and direction.

I don't believe for one second that these characters would group together to kill someone. I do believe that they would screw it up as bad as they did but even then, the drama, the stakes, the tension wasn't there.

It just feels like no choice was made in directing or editing to make any stylistic effort to manipulate the audience into caring about anything. It's perfectly watchable and the footage is exposed correctly but other than that there's not much going for this. It finishes as arbitrarily as it began. Eh.
