bleedingfilms.com review of 'TRIANGLE'
Friends of mine insisted I watch this film. I knew nothing about Triangle and the experience blew me away. It was better because I really did not know what was going to happen. It reminded me of that film 'From Dusk Till Dawn' when half way through, the whole film suddenly turned down a road you did not expect. There is so much going on in this gem of a movie. I have seen it three times. Every time you notice something else. It is confusing at first but stay with it. I thought it was quite clever. Unfortunately not many people have seen it, it went under the radar.It stars Melissa George who used to be in `Home and Away' and you may have seen her in that brilliant television series `The Slap'. She is a very good actress. 'Triangle' is directed by Christopher Smith who gave us the excellent `Creep' which you may recall created a hostile atmosphere within the London UK underground system.The story is about Jess (Melissa George) who is confused, telling her colleagues (when they are all on a comfy little boat trip) she has been there before. Her confusion and concern is a great start to this film. I was a bit cocky watching this film, second guessing where the story was going, my advice is just go with the flow and do your best not to read anything before viewing. The bloody Blu-ray box cover almost tells you everything! After the film I had some questions I needed answering, so I carried out some online investigation....if you do catch this great film and end up feeling slightly unintelligent and confused like I did, let me know and I'll put you right. As an actor myself I would love to work with Mr Smith the director, his imagination and sense of pace in a scene is dead on target for me. There are some respectful influences here from other films, let me know which ones you reckon they are. I recommend the Blu-ray version of course. By the way `The making of Triangle' is also interesting.My final words about this film is this: If you have experienced those dreams where you are running, but not going anywhere, or calling to someone for help and they can't hear you, and you are so close to them, screaming out with no response....that feeling of sheer frustration will ignite inside you when watching this thrilling film.....Just one question; why do you think the films title is named 'Triangle'?...after you see it let me know.bleedingcriticbleedingfilms.com
