Review of Chronicle (2012) by Fangaas — 02 Jan 2013

While initially the combination of a whining lead character and the shaky cam was a massive turn off, as the film got into full swing I started to really appreciate it, to the point where I didn't even notice it anymore.

The film has a superb use of effects, from the subtle to the downright ridiculous, everything has a hyper-realistic shine to it that really adds to the effect and overall feel of the movie. Very well paced and I really loved how the movie took a proper (though admittedly predictable) dark turn.

Beautifully subtle while at the same time tastefully in your face, one of the best action movies of 2012 without a doubt and one to watch again.
