The Shift (II) (2023)
8/10
Entertaining and different
1 December 2023
It wasn't what I expected, but it was enjoyable and kept my attention throughout, the acting was great, the sets were well chosen and designed. You really can't know what to expect the end to be and there were many surprises/twists. Neal McDonough was perfectly cast as the Benefactor, and Kristoffer Polaha as Kevin. I am a Christian and happy to see movies taking new twists on Bible stories and applying them to current culture. This movie will definitely have you thinking throughout. Fans of science fiction will enjoy it as much as Christians, it really doesn't seem like a Christian movie until about the 2/3rds way through mark.

Hmmmmm that was it?

That's how I felt at the end of the movie, the first 2/3 of the movie was great, and then not so much. It seemed like they ran out of script and were like "what do we do now, this isn't long enough" then started putting in strange, well stranger, content with an ending that was very disappointing. Nicolas Cage was brilliant, an entirely different type of character for him and he was amazing. There was nothing wrong with the performances at all, just the very odd last third of the movie. The storyline was different from anything I've seen before and overall I did enjoy it, just not the last 20 minutes of so.
