Review of Chrysalis (2007) by Gary T — 13 Feb 2010
The first thing that is striking about this movie is the dark foreboding atmosphere throughout, which thoroughly suits the movie. The director has created some great sequences that are visually stunning, really great cinematography. On top of this the hand to hand combat and actions scenes are fantastic. I would say the fight scenes are some of the best I have ever seen.
The story is well thought out, containing divergent main lines that intertwine, without being convoluted and is not wholly dependant on some final super dramatic twist, though it does have one. The dialogue is well above standard which would only leave the acting to let it down, but no, surprise surprise, the acting is excellent.
So what did let it down? The moodiness of the movie sometimes had the undesirable effect of slowing the pace down to the point where you feel like its dragging its heals. Overall though I loved it.
