Review of The Road (2011) by Ethan S — 30 Dec 2012
Glacial pacing kills a movie that could have been really something. The first thirty minutes had my heart racing, but I caught on to the director's tricks and soon lost interest to the point where I was praying for it to end.
The ending makes no sense and while I could see where the filmmaker was trying to go, it just didn't work out. Who are all these people and are they the same people and what...who..? Whatever, I don't really care enough to try and think about it because I'm not sure this movie is deserving of such deep thought.
The third act isn't even horror, but a taut family drama. This filmmaker has a good film in him, but it isn't this one. Beautiful cinematography, though.
