Review of Nocturnal Animals (2016) by Axet — 22 Nov 2016

This is a prime example of a crossover artist who is unfit for the screen, trying to pass off a largely incoherent incomplete script/film that any disciplined writer, director, producer, studio exec would have had re-written several times over. Self indulgent nonsense is an understatement. The idea is very interesting, but it was never properly developed for an audience which is what is required in this game called movies for public exhibition.

Actors such as the principals here who choose to be in something based on scenes they want to show their stuff off in rather than choosing scripts with the potential to be good movies do nobody a service, particularly the audience and investors. Besides the severe lacking in story and screenplay know-how on display here is the content on screen itself which is unimaginative to say the least and downright unappealing in any way, shape or form. It's a lousy scenario ruining the seed of a great idea for a thriller.
