Review of Widows (2018) by Ginak — 23 Nov 2018
A disappointing film, although I am not sure whether the problem is the directing, writing, or editing – or everything. It is certainly not the cast, which is very good and very believable under the circumstances.
But things don’t quite make sense (it starts right at the beginning with Colin Farrell). There are gaps and jumps – and mild frustration that becomes disappointment. This excellent cast deserves better.
Example: Although this is a heist film, there is almost no tension. When the final reveal happens, it seems like a cheap trick (I can’t be more specific in case you haven’t seen the film yet although I am not keeping anything really clever a secret).
