Review of Redemption (2014) by Kashfia F — 02 Aug 2013
One word: Lame. The film had a lot of (pretentious) storylines but nothing was dug deep enough, only some melancholic but cheesy details floating around with full of clichés tried to explain the weird behaviours and psychology of the characters, in vain.
The inability of Jason "Stath" to act emotionally could not help either, especially when the writer and director themselves could not decide which is the main plot of the film instead of confusing (themselves and their audience) the whole time with useless background stories.
The melancholy and loneliness of the film's characters recalled a very good recent film - Drive, which was, alas, much more successful by focusing on DESCRIBING the identity of its characters through a single consistent plot rather than trying to EXPLAIN such identity through chaotic storylines.
And that makes a whole difference between them two.
