Review of High-Rise (2015) by Rob B — 24 Jun 2016

And Critics wonder why Hollywood is only interested in action movies. I don't usually review movies but after seeing this one I just had to get it off my chest; just like the director couldn't hide his love of montages and pretentious dialogue.

Scenes go by so quickly I can probably bet not one scene lasts more than 2 minutes, also there are characters that you think are supposed to appear in one scene only but then they come back and I guess they're supposed to be main characters? Such a mess, halfway through the movie mayhem starts, people only think about sex and doing quirky things in a room full of corpses, people getting raped, stealing, etc.

This is not just expecting the audience to know the book, this is giving 12 year old an algebra test in the first day of school.
