Review of Chronicle (2012) by Dmitri M — 25 Feb 2013
Top Movies of 2012 - #14.
Now let's clear things up, just because Chronicle has a 5 doesn't mean that all following movies have received 5's, this list is more of an influential piece than an individual piece, therefore not ranked on ratings.
Moving on, Chronicle was an early-year surprise that gave us something never fully explored in other superhero movies: the birth of a super-villain. In order to accomplish this, Chronicle features Dane Dehaan as Andrew, who gives an amazing and creepy performance and uses the found footage genre. Through this we are given a personal view of Andrew and what emotions he is going through, we are right there with him as he struggles through life and we mourn for him as his life begins spiraling downwards. Chronicle abandons the cliche black-and-white view of hero and villain and in exchange gives us a movie where we end up rooting for the antagonist.
