Review of Heartless (2010) by Conner R — 11 Apr 2011

I don't know why I was so excited to see this, but it's really just not good. It has a nice concept, if you can call it that, but the amateurish directing fails to capture the actors good side.

It's almost like he purposefully made these people look like they were giving bad performances. It's sad when a British Superstar like Jim Sturgess is taken down by a poor execution and skill.

This should be something that is essential to a director and cinematographer; performance over a comfortable or easy position. The story itself could have been really good if it was handled better, but the mood was all over the place and it tended to fall on the melodramatic side for no particular reason.
