No Risks and No Reward

Rating: 5/10 (28 January 2019)

This is a not a great work of cinema like most reviews on here would have you believe. It is mediocre, at best. There is nothing in the film that is done great except for the lip syncing. Everything else is average to bad. It's a typical overly dramatized biopic with the traditional random moments of serendipity sprinkled throughout to keep the story moving along. The acting is highly overrated. Malik is unconvincing in his role any time that he has to talk in a non-singing voice and the rest of the cast is as boring as the movie is itself. The only redeemable aspect of the film is (what I'm guessing is) archive audio of Freddie Mercury and the way they interpolated it.
