Hyena (I) (2014)
7/10
Had me hooked and enthralled, ending was infuriating

On the one hand, I could watch this for 10 hours straight or more if it was a series rather than a movie. It's very enthralling, good acting & good cinematography.. very raw and real. Good, subtle soundtrack that kicks up during tense moments.

But the ending.... wow, the ending. P*ssed. Me. Off.

Great directing and everything, so much to the point that I was fully invested in the outcome of the three main characters at the end (as well as the two bad guys!), but was left knowing nothing! What, did they not know how to end the script? It's gonna haunt me, not knowing what took place in the minutes following the last scene.

This is my first review, forgive me for my simple terminology. But surely some of you know what I mean, talk about "blue balls"!! I'd say I want my time back for watching it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it right up until the end! Very watchable. Potential. But a tease that will leave you feeling utterly cheated and unsatisfied. I look forward to more films by whomever directed this.
