Review of Till Death (2021) by Jluis_001 — 04 Jul 2021

The concept is very straightforward, and the execution is nothing out of the ordinary.

By enclosing everything in one setting, and with a plot that involves playing cat and mouse, what you are left with are constant comings and goings that become tiresome, because it's laughable to what extent the characters do so little to find themselves, even when that it's the only thing they're doing.

I have a hard time believing that the suspense is as good as I read in professional reviews, because I never saw that, but I suppose they should soften their opinions a bit.

What surprises me the most are the mentions of the lead, that's Megan Fox, and more than anything because of what many acclaim as her return.

When did she left, that people missed her?

When did she make a great movie?

Or more importantly. When did she act well?

There is a scene where a character she was having an affair with, asks her: "Is it because of us?".

And she responds with a lazy and completely tedious: "I'm sure it was because he was insane".

She says this covered in blood with the corpse of her husband handcuffed next to hers, after committing suicide.

And that ladies and gentlemen is the extent of her acting rank.

But that's not really her entire fault. The rest of the short cast is pretty bad too.

The physical part, she pulled it off great, and the film demands a lot of that from her, but when she has to speak is when it gets bad.

Obviously there's the background of the plot that talks about a woman escaping from abusive men, but frankly that theme is completely drowned out by what the film was most interested in showing, which was the thriller stuff.

It's not awful **** but it's also hardly worth mentioning at all.
