a film that cannot do anything right.

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2017)

I am a big fan of the Key & Peel show; i think they make funny comedy with some genuine brilliance in their approach to social themes, racism, and modern society.
Get Out would work really well as a 5 minute, 10 tops, TV sketch.
The premise is of a black guy who is taken by his girlfriend to see her all-white, suburban parents. Because we live in a modern world, Black Dude is less worried about racism and more about making a good impression with the dad & mum of the girl he is currently plowing.
Once there, there are various very vague attempts at setting a mood of tension. Various unsettling characters are brought in. The main portion of the plot is made ridiculously obvious by this point, and also this section of the film drags on waaaay too much.
Then the guy is finally abducted, because "reverse racism, blacks are actually preferred to whites" and brain transplants. The whole thing carefully exposed because some guy at the back row in the audience didn't already figure it all out.
Once the transplant begins, the ending is pure low-grade action flick, and Guy (tm) finally gets to go home, sans-girlfriend.
I'm sorry, but my opinion of Get Out is not very good. It's fairly well shot, the supporting cast is .. not terrible, but the story is really weak, there is no tension whatsoever (i wouldn't even class this film as a horror), the resolution of the plot if feeble ..
do not bother with Get Out. It's a weak film that lacks in both style and substance.
My final vote: 5.5/10 - very little to watch.
