Review of Almost Mercy (2015) by Matthew S — 06 Jun 2015

This really isn't a great movie, but it kinda played with my emotions a bit. these two kids' lives are absolutely horrible and every adult around them just makes it worse. it's terrible to watch; mostly because situations like that really do happen! the first half just made me feel icky - no wonder they turned into sociopaths.

but I suppose that's what makes a good revenge film, right? first you have to feel so incredibly bad for the main characters, that when they obliterate half the town, you feel a sense of justice being served which makes you happy.

weird how that works.
