Review of I Think We're Alone Now (2018) by Hotelcentral — 30 Jul 2019
1) Peter Dinklage is a really good actor and he makes characters more interesting than they would otherwise be.
2) His character in this film is an outsider, a loner, the guy who's never more alone than when surrounded by people he doesn't connect with. If you've never felt like that at all (if you're always surrounded by tons of awesome friends) then you're probably not going to get the character and you probably won't like the film.
3) There's virtually no action in the typical sense. There's a little menace, now and again, because you never know what might be around the next corner, but that's about it. OK, we see a little bit of corpse dragging, but . . . you know . . .
4) We get almost nothing about the cause and nature of the apocalypse. A little disappointing but I got over it. On the other hand we do get a little fly fishing and fish gutting.
5) I didn't really appreciate the film's title until the very last scene and then it hit me like a sudden fountain of droll irony. If droll irony can actually fountain.
6) This is not a great film, but it's a solid entry into the genre because Dinklage makes it so. You should therefore "engage".
