Review of VANish (2015) by George E — 09 Apr 2016

This low budget movie left a good taste in my mouth due mainly to the acting of Maiara Walsh. She came off as very natural and unusual, very strong but not in an super chick HERO type of way. Too much of the movie was tossed together but it made some sense as it went along.

Its relatively short duration also helped. Everyone of note in the movie dies except for the kidnap victim, but this happens in a way that doesn't have her performing any special kung fu magic or in otherwise showing any special talents but remaining clear and focused and taking advantage of opportunities to get the upper hand in blowing away another one.

The whole movie is kinda frantic and nutty, but it seems to fit with a couple of semi-retards engaged in a poorly thought out kidnapping and then going for the daughter of a brutal drug lord and expecting this to work out well for them? I was impressed with this movie, but not sure this is such a GOOD thing, LOL.
