A Review

Read Time: 1 min read

Rating: 1.5 out of 5.

This movie is a masterclass in bad decisions and disappointing conclusions. Cooper, the protagonist, seems either blessed by a god of luck or surrounded by the most shockingly idiotic individuals imaginable. Seriously, no one in this movie behaves like a functioning human being.

Cooper somehow manages to get away with everything despite making a string of nonsensical choices. For a character who is supposed to be “meticulous” and “OCD,” balancing two separate lives, he goes out of his way to look as suspicious as possible. It’s like he’s actively trying to get caught. Every decision he makes contradicts the careful, calculated nature his character supposedly embodies, making him one of the least believable fictional serial killers I’ve ever seen.

What initially had the potential to be an intriguing story quickly devolves into complete nonsense. Just when you think it couldn’t get worse, it’s seasoned with the typical M. Night Shyamalan-style “twist” that feels more like a desperate attempt to salvage an incoherent plot.

As if the writing wasn’t bad enough, the audio is atrocious. Whether it’s inconsistent levels, poor mixing, or just outright bad sound design, the technical issues are as distracting as the story itself. It’s hard to stay engaged when you’re constantly straining to hear dialogue or wincing at poorly balanced sound effects.

This film is a mess from top to bottom, with a frustratingly bad plot and unremarkable execution across the board. Save your time—this one isn’t worth it.

Mr. Turner (2014)

A masterclass in artistic torment. Spall’s Turner grunts through life like a wounded bear, painting storms with one hand while leaving human wreckage with the other. The film’s liberties with history amplify his contradictions—genius and monster, poet and predator. As messy as his paint-splattered studio.

Locked (2025)

A shirtless Bill Skarsgård screaming in a car for 90 minutes while Anthony Hopkins lectures about etiquette—this remake of 4X4 is less thriller, more wealthy-man power fantasy. What starts as a tense survival game quickly turns into a tired “rich = smart, poor = lazy” sermon. Justice? Morality? Who cares—just work harder, right? #MovieReview #Locked2025 #BillSkarsgard
