Review of The Invasion (2007) by Matan — 15 Sep 2007
This Zombie Tense-Thriller promises to be smart and scary. To say something about society and make us jump in our seats. It falls short of its goals mainly because of the contrast between the two genres the film aims at: An A-grade B-movie.
The scary parts aren't scary, and the boring Flaming Car scene could be a classic in the hands of a more imaginative director. The smart parts raise some interesting questions, and the Dinner Party scene is obviously the intellectual highlight of the writers, but these questions get lost in order of giving us a great happy ending we don't get enough from Hollywood nowadays.
Nicole Kidman is an intelligent actress with a taste for disappointments. Daniel Craig is wasted as Ben. Everyone else could be anyone else, and we wouldn't the difference. A So-So Movie: So much Potential, So much disappointment.
