Fun, but has the same negative traits as other modern movies.

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2011)

i recently watched source code, limitless, and unknown which i will make a review for each of them. all these movies have something in common i feel the directors try to rush they don't take enough time to explain the complicated concepts and events in which is crucial to understand the movies, they also do not shed enough light on key role characters, in addition the dialog is often vague in which the viewer is not clear on whats happening, in a nutshell the storytelling in all three movies is plain CRAPPY (Unknown not so much), i cant help but feel that most directors are attempting to imitate Christopher Nolan style which i despise (making fairly complicating ideas into hugely complicated through his very bad direction and storytelling and even dialog. in limitless and source code specifically very little information is provided keeping the viewer thinking in order to fill the illogical gaping holes in the technicality of the story and the complicated events revolving around the main character leaving the viewer thinking logically of what or why just happened instead of just enjoying the moment. and this what i don't recognize in older movies i don't feel the movie is an outline or a summary of a longer movie, and i don't feel the compression of the development of incidences during the movie.
---Unknown--- as i gave it a good rating because the negative points never really ruined the experience for me as most movies do, my negative point is the director did not shed enough light and developing the secondary characters, i am talking mainly about Rodney Cole, the part where the German x-spy killed himself and the dealogue between them is not fully explained, and i just feel this part doesn't fit perfectly in the movie, they just put it to add some time and event. i specifically feel that those small important details are crammed in a way which it makes the movie less understandable. like how did the x-spy know martins real past when he said "what if he remembers everything?".i cant help but feel this movie is just scene after scene after scene not really interconnected with each other, this may be the most efficient way to shoot a movie but makes the movie less valuable than it potentially is, movies nowadays don't have this heaviness/richness that the good old ones had. and how did the martin Harris-es know the password (i mean the number code itself) to Bressler's work? and what operating system in the world are the using it seems its all the same software in all the movies, id die to use that instead of windows ;)
