Review of The Forger (2011) by Adam P — 13 Oct 2012

I can't say I hated this film but I can't say I loved it much either. I thought of giving this film a look because I did enjoy Josh's other film The Hunger Games and Hayden's other film ( believe it or not) I love you beth cooper.

But man this film has some magger problems and some magger good things. Lets start with the good things which includes casting,acting,and well lets just do those 2 because actually I don't think there was anything else about this movie that I liked or i'd have given this film 5 stars or 4 or 3 stars but I didn't.

Ok lets begin with the casting. Ok I did enjoy the casting of Josh Hutcherson he was a perfect choice in the lead a star choice he perfectly showed how a troubled homeless person would act and be well sorta and I really liked the casting of Lauren Bacall and Alfred Molina they were perfect in each of their roles perfect .

The acting is good actually considering this film has a feel of a made for television movie . I expected this film to have good acting because of Hayden , but Josh was a wild card in some of his movies he had good acting in others not so good acting but this time around he had.

.. Good acting and it helped gain another star but where theres good news theirs bad news. The screen - play , made for television value , love story , story , those are the bad things. The screen - play is very chessy and poor it truly is sadly none of the actors can help it its just poor really poor.

This film is well very low budget as you can see which gives it a made for television look and feel and the feel is not good not good at all just lame. The love story between Josh and Hayden is weak and at many times awkward prone it just is not good the director just can't write a good love story and Hayden was probably feeling sick because she did not help the love story and as for Josh on the love story he sunk it he really did .

The love story was an on and off type thing on then off for a long time then on then off for another long time. The overrall story is pretty bad too. Its so on original and boring and really its not a drama at all is a well a it that can't find a true subject or story thats good enouge for itself.

All an All this film is a bit everywhere more so bad then good but I did kinda enjoy it anyway. D+.
