Review of Villains (2019) by Umaumai — 31 Jan 2020

While this was a pretty fun film for the most part, I feel like they held back at many key points of the storyline where they didn’t need to show restraint. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing. It left it not that gory, for the most part, when considering the subject matter.

Because of this I think it opens itself up to more people who might want to watch it. But on the other hand, it felt kind of bland as it didn’t push the envelope. It’s very dark and has some unsettling moments, but you could see where things were heading for the most part leaving me prepared and not shocked or offended.

I’m not sure that’s what the film makers intended with this movie. Especially with such rich characters choices from 4 good actors who put on great performances. I think it’s worth a watch just to see and hear some of Jeffery Donovan’s performance.

Not a must see, but it entertained for an hour and a half.
