Review of The Red Sea Diving Resort (2019) by Berik — 31 Jul 2019
If you're expecting a well written, emotional an inspiring movie about saving refugees from crimes against humanity, then look elsewhere.
Right from the start the movie takes no shame in turning this into a fan tribute to Chris Evans. Had he worn his Captain America suit, it would have been the exact same movie. Next to that, 60% of conversations in this movie are done through dumb stares. Either that, or Chris Evans doing out of place workouts.
Then comes the cliché introduction of what can only be described as a heist movie recruitment montage. A woman I will call discount Jennifer Lawrence, who apparently is a trained ninja that manages to scan documents from a briefcase in 1979 while being on a plane... yup. There's also a playboy nudist who smack his dick against friends, and an assassin that kills someone at 'Station Centraal, Amsterdam' (Bad dutch, it's Centraal Station Amsterdam), yet kills NO ONE during the actual mission. Oh and there's a whiny guy that acts all grumpy. Well, that's the heist... I mean rescue crew.
The movie does a poor job of flashing out the actual turmoils that refugees face. They show executions, yet not the raping, the cutting of limbs, burning of people and war children. Instead, the movie shows a heavily romanticised version of the refugees journey, focused on 5 people that get tanned while transporting people. Quite an insult to the actual turmoils.
It's an underwhelming movie, with no interesting characters. Also, major plotholes! Somehow the Sudan military becomes telepathing and knows straight away that the refugees are at some abondoned airfield! It's freaking **** give this movie a 5/10.
