Review of False Positive (2021) by Theredsky — 04 Jul 2021

A fun performance from Pierce Brosnan can’t save this train wreck of a film. Everything about this is such a boring mess that it becomes insufferable at points. Brosnan is obviously having some fun with his role but his character is pretty awful.

All of the characters are pretty awful to be honest. None of them feel relatable or have obvious intentions. Nothing really makes a ton of sense with this story. It’s a take on Rosemary’s Baby but it never really does anything with that.

The main character has some hallucinations and thinks Brosnan is up to something and he is but the journey to get there is incredibly boring. All of the dialogue scenes are insufferable. The dialogue is awful and it never really contributes anything to the overall story.

The ending is probably the worst ending to a film this year. It’s so out of left field and weird. I like weird conclusions but it doesn’t feel deserved at all and goes into some really dark places before going “just kidding”.

Besides Brosnan, all of the performances are fine. They aren’t great but they aren’t Bad per say. I did enjoy the music sometimes but it was very standard and boring. The cinematography is incredibly bland.

There isn’t any interesting shots at all besides maybe one or two. Some of the sets are kinda cool with the pure aesthetic hiding something dark. I would recommend not checking this out because it’s a disaster of a film that has the unadded bonus of being extremely boring.
