Review of Landmine Goes Click (2015) by Luciusmcgibbon — 27 Feb 2021

**Spoiler alert sorta maybe** This is one of those movies that accomplishes 100% of its goals through brute force emotional exploitation. The first half is all about suspense and psychology, and even if it doesn't do the most delicate or original job of setting up the close, it's not a total waste of the first hour, I guess.

Then we transition into almost a second movie that fits neatly in the revenge fantasy section. By the time it was over, it generally succeeded at dragging me through the protagonist's mucked up mind from normal to terror to wrath to shame.

I wouldn't call the shock factor cheap but it was definitely laid on like one inch of Nutella on a half-inch slice of bread. You can clearly feel yourself being led... which makes it hard for one's socks to be truly blown off.

But I did feel dirty when the credits rolled... so mission accomplished. Average but not unwelcome.
