Review of Rudderless (2014) by Logan N — 02 Nov 2015

With one word, amazing! There are so many feelings after watching this movie, that I don't know where to begin! An amazing story that even if not true, could as well be. Billy Crudup is awesome and it was a real shock to me when I remembered that he also played in "Almost Famous" (2000)! Both amazing movies by the way!

The plot is not really transparent from the beginning and it actually evolves through the movie with some big revealings after the first half of the movie. This came as a shock to us, when some things were made clearer and it really added a lot to the tension of the moment.

At the same point in the movie, I thought I could predict what would happen next, but I was completely off, which is a thing that I really appreciate when it happens. Overall, amazing cast, especially Lawrence Fishburn that lighten the mood up as much as it was needed also being a cornerstone character for the movie. His role was so catalytic.

I loved all the acting in the movie, I loved all the characters that were placed there making it look like a real case, something that could happen with no flashy or improbable characters. Human, sweet and bitter, with lots of music and some laughs but also lots of emotion and maybe some tears. I LOVED IT!
