Review of Calibre (2018) by Pritvi08 — 16 Jul 2018

To some, intent matters far less than actions. ''A German- Jewish writer named Kurt Tucholsky wrote, 'The opposite of good is good intentions". On the moral scales, guilty feelings are what guide people to atonement. If I can simplify the movie Calibre(Directed by Matt Palmer), in the silhoutte of Scottish highlands, I believe the above line would do justice. The script is written at a steady intervals of depicting, the friends, Marcus & Vaughn, reflecting their true self vs the aspiring self. Director Matt Palmer introduces the friends Marcus, as a risk taker, adventure seeker, with no commitments. Vaughn is shown as caring boy friend, expecting father, thrilled family man, clear in his conscience, but fargile, when it comes to handling Marcus.

Vauhn realizes he has got into a terrible flux with Marcus and there is no way he can escape. There is a moment, even Marcus would realize, why did he turn into a criminal. The movie revolves around both the characters, being the protoganist, & also the villains. Director Matt has represented the shades of their fragility & evilness in appropriate proportion. In the end, the suspense is all about how the villagers faciliate punishment for both the friends.
