The Hunter's Prayer (2017)
Major plot problem.
From the very start I had an issue with this movie. Simply put, I did not care. They have a wholly unlikable character in Ella. She is a snobbish, ungrateful caricature of a spoiled brat. I absolutely had no interest in whether she lived or died. It might have been a better plot if she was killed early in the movie and they made it about Lucas getting free of his employers for using his family.
I also failed to see why Lucas allowed Ella to go out in public to go dancing? Why not grab her right from the start and have a planned location to take her or escape to whichever he thought at the time ?
Just a really poorly thought out movie that was unwatchable .
Miller's Girl (2024)
Disappointing and vacuous.
I do enjoy when a movie's dialog provides its own review. This film was " overreaching without ambition."
The pacing of the movie was horribly painful. It is never a good sign when I leave the action of the movie and find myself looking around thinking " I am sitting in a movie theater. "
Martin Freeman is a terrific actor but the script absolutely failed him. His talents were so totally wasted. I found this to be hopelessly sad as I expected so much from the film.
The movie harps on the mediocrity of the protagonist and then tries to paint him as a villain. It just did not ring true. The script just kept missing; and, it was hard to keep pressing forward. With 45 minutes, or so, to go; I just wanted it to be over.
