Review of Uncertainty (2009) by Dana A — 07 May 2010

I think it should be said for the record this script wasn't written when it was filmed, somehow in the rehersal process the writers decided by the actor's thought-process where the plot and the characters should go, it was shot guerrilla style and the diagloue was improvised.

This would explain why the movie or movies lost me. Despite ripping the premise off Sliding Doors, this was original and a courageous attempt at something new. I can understand why the actors were drawn to it.

Sadly it didn't feel that way when watching. Clearly this was two different movies. One boring, dull, filled with characters I could care less about. The other excited, captivating and fun. Until somehow, somewhere the fun movie ended up boring and drawn out, with simply nowhere to go.

I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt and will watch any movie he's end but the kid massively screwed up by dealing with this mess of a movie. Both stories were weak, the first was nonexistant and unwatchable.

The second really didn't make much sense and bordered on the ridiculous. The editing was chopping and just didn't have an easy flow between the two films. The chemistry between the two actors was there and was partially the saving grace of the movies.

The major problem with the movies was that they both had no idea where they wanted to go, what the characters points were or even why the audience should care and when the final act came it completely ran out of steam.

If you're gonna see it, see it once, thats more then enough.
