Review of The Catcher Was a Spy (2018) by Dufreshest — 20 Jul 2018

The Catcher Was A Spy Review.

Cinematography: 6.932/10 The film has moments that really look good and mesh well though inconsistently with the effects the story gives. I feel as though there are enough scenes though not enough scenes; there seems to be enough scenes to tell the full story though not enough scenes telling the story. .

Costume Design: 8.392/10 Everything looks in order and the attire does make the times presented more resonant.

Film Editing: 7.994/10 The scenes are put together well. .

Make-up and Hair-styling: 8.121/10 As with the attire, the presentations of the characters makes the times presented in the film more resonant.

Sound Editing: 8.001/10 Decent for the film.

Visual Effects: - /10 .

Story: 7.121/10 The actual story is interesting. The depiction of the story in the film is sketchy. There seems to be a lack of telling all that makes the protagonist that person. He was a good ball player with the potential to be a better coach and then the story devolves then attempts to re-latch to his public persona which makes his private persona that much more pertinent. .

Acting: 6.219/10 How do the acting partners meant to have a natural accent all throughout have less of a natural accent than the acting partners meant to have a slightly unnatural accent? I don't feel as though the acting in all of the scenarios is consistent in a way that brings the full effect of the actual story to life.

Personal: I feel like The Catcher Was A Spy makes the attempt in storytelling The Imitation Game successfully completes. I don't think there was enough emphasis on Moe's ability to assess situations more so than on his sexuality. There's even a scene which throws away any care of Moe's sexual partners and the film seems to try grasping everything else that makes Moe valuable in a bit of a jumble though careless fashion. Also, the last story I've come across to effectively use Chess in an intricate-interesting manner is The Westing Game (this story is really good, at least, I like it). .

Overall: 6.549/10.
