Today I watched GET OUT
***SPOILER ALERT***
It was one of those films that I thought was quite good, until I got on the bus and started thinking about it.
It's a solid 2.5 out of 5 for me. It does't do anything at all that we haven't seen in other movies, absolutely every single scene in it I could find in another movie if I could be arsed. There is no directorial vision at all really, and the acting is really rather average.
Allison Williams, the girl from Girls, plays the girl from Girls, I wonder if all she will ever play is the girl from Girls? and everyone else is just out of casting 101.
There are two really rather good jumps in it both of which are not essential to the plot, and some laugh out loud funny lines, but the film belongs to the supporting cast, and it is much more alive when LilRel Howery is on the screen - he's the best thing in it by far.
The main character (Daniel Kaluuya) has a camera and takes a lot of photos and I was hoping or expecting this to have something to do with the plot, but it never did, and then he takes the important photo with his phone. Kind of a weak moment.
Plot has lots of rather silly plot holes and strange horror devices which are not fulfilled or explained.
They try to attempt to deal with racism but fail to actually 'go there' so it comes across as extraordinarily clichéd'.
Worth watching if you like this sort of thing, which is a 15 certificate horror with a few jumps.
