Review of Low Tide (2019) by Grantd243 — 04 Oct 2019

So much potential, yet so little results. Low Tide has all of the makings of a great coming of age film, and the first 15 or so minutes are very promising. A group of teenage boys eat at a diner and hit on girls during the day, and then they rob houses at night.

One day, however, two of the boys find a much, much bigger score while raiding a house. What ensues doesn’t live up to the set up in any way, shape, or form. It’s messy and predictable, and it doesn’t help that several of the characters have one of those pesky “Oh man, I suddenly became much less intelligent!” moments on multiple occasions.

The ending also didn’t do much for me. With all of this being said, it’s not quite as terrible as I’m making it sound. It’s just so painfully average after the first 15 minutes that I’m even more disappointed than I would normally be.
