Review of The Signal (2014) by Mirzel T — 03 Aug 2014
The Signal does a spectacular job of approaching familiar sci-fi tropes from a completely different perspective. Its really hard to explain the plot of the film as about 3-4 films are mashed into this one.
Yes the pacing is slow at 1st, carefully weaving out the characters & slowly unraveling in carefully measured doses before opening the floodgates during the film's climax. There are some truly breathtaking visuals & twists in the tale here, particularly during the third act, with one jaw-dropping shot after another building toward a jaw dropping climax .
Brenton Thwaites and Lawrence Fishburne made a great team all throughout the movie. Olivia Cooke & Beau Knapp form a strong support. Having a budget of just under 4 million, William Eubank has proved that creative writing and talented direction still exists in Hollywood as The Signal is visually arresting, methodically paced, and almost perfectly executed.
A must watch for Science Fiction fans!!!
